Most police officers do an amazing job at what they do: protecting and serving the American people. Despite this, there is a serious problem with some cops assuming that their badges grant them extra rights. Last year, police killed 1,100 Americans. The first five months of 2015 saw 476 deaths at the hands of American police, with over 1,100 predicted by the end of the year.
You may think that these numbers seem low, considering there are over 300 million Americans. But, when you consider the killing rate of our police officers in comparison with the law enforcement of other countries, it is very embarrassing.
Japanese police killed one person last year in a country with over 100 million citizens. Icelandic police only killed one person in its entire history. And, to top if off, American police have a murder rate worst than the homicide rates of the two most violent countries in the world.

Jeff Loiselle……you are really dumb.
yes they over react – sometimes too much power corrupts. But the flip side is the frustration dealing with never ending crime… they get released as fast as arrested and see a high number of illegally here in the first place… and if they see their leadership does not have their back they feel less inclined. So the solution is not purely more discipline/restrictions, it has a lot of other factors in our society that need addressed

Got info from e _bay
That is moronic..we have Chicago filled with gangsters killing each other and anyone in their way..and no police bother them. Look at Baltimore…killings up 50% now that the police have stepped out of the way. The violent people arent the police
Really well look what they have had to put up with, 1. OBAMA, 2. SOCIALIST PARTY, 3. BLACKS that don’t okay the LAW, 4. local STATE SOCIALIST PARTY that keeps breaking our LAWS. and now you wonder why.

It’s not the police, it’s the people they have to deal with.
