Really? Do you want to have a society of sheep ruled by a police force? Has this worked out before? What liberties do you want to give up for this?

That has nothing to do with a society ruled by a police force. If you would reread my post you might understand what I was referring to. For example, an officer goes to a domestic violence call, you meet the description of the combative subject. He tells you to show your hands, you keep disobeying and keep your hands in your pockets. Thats an officer safety issue, the officer has no idea if your holding a gun or knife. When you get sprayed with oc or get taken down by force you ***** and say it was unjust, but what you dont understand is that hands kill, thats 101. If you had simply obeyed and made your hands visible the incident could have possibly been avoided. Its thinking such as yours thats an issue in society right now. The mentality that police are going around and violating rights just for the hell of it is invalid. People need to look at the whole situation and stop focusing on the damn race card.
