Law Enforcement Police : Why Is It Okay For Police Officers To Blatantly Abuse Their Power And Civilians

Take Pittsburgh G20 as a very recent example. Why is it okay for the police officers to throw tear gas and shoot the students? They didnt do anything wrong. I might be naive, but I dont know why they can just do this without the entire country going insane with rage and setting cars on fire and beating up every cop they see. But there has to be a reason, if not, the question is, why isnt there? ~~~ Paste ~~~

Best Answer To Law Enforcement Police Question

You wrote: "... I might be naive..." I would tend to agree. You asked: "...Why is it okay for police officers to blatantly abuse their power and civilians?..." It isnt, so your question is moot. By the way, the law protects those who gather in peaceful protest. The law deals quite differently with those who gather in violent, disruptive, or destructive protest. - Stuart

Look around you, they are the only ones with guns. they win.

Answer 3

People who enjoy power over their fellow man are often attracted to police work. Once they have the badge they tend to indulge themselves.

Answer 4

People like you are a prime example as to why police have to take such actions. You dont see anything wrong with the destruction of other peoples property but they and the police do.

Answer 5

Your assuming police officers have to follow the same rules and laws as everyone else. This is simply not the case. They are above the same laws they force down our throats. They are the brutality class assigned to protect the ruling class.

Answer 6

The "students" were rioting and attacking the police and private property. The police were reacting in response to it. If the "students" hadnt become violent, none of it wouldve happened.

its not okay but it happens anyways. thats life

Answer 9

Dont you mean Storm Troupers? When I read about that I had to double check that the G20 Beatings were in some other, lesser, country. Not America. But this is what America really is. I dont know why more people cant see it.

Answer 10

College Kids. Go figure.

Answer 11

I havent seen much about that in the news, but the police may have been over-zealous in suppressing the demonstrators. I wonder how that played on TV in Iran. I am glad that the country did not go insane with widespread riots.

Answer 12

It isnt and they arent. If a riot is out of control then tear gas and rubber bullets are fine, its a means of control. Once the police lose control of the situation... thats when people get really hurt.

Answer 13

Look around. Who has guns? Bob the shop owner? Your neighbor Mrs. Smith? Those high school kids at the corner? No. The police do. Whether its legal or not, you cant argue with officers of the law with firearms. Or anybody with a firearm, for that matter. Police arent the only people allowed to have guns. Among others, armed bodyguards (people who protect politicians) can carry any concealed firearm they want, anywhere in the country, which even police cant do.

Answer 14

because it was a illegal protest...or something like that idk i mean theres more people then cops they need to do something

Answer 15

It isnt okay, problem is that the system is set up so that the rules are nonexistent for them, but nearly overwhelming for the rest of us.
