And the military has killed far more civilians than cops...considering all the death & destruction they have caused, cops look like saints.

That is carefully worded cop-speak that could mean anything from a bar fight to false allegations of domestic abuse.
Notice there is no allusion to "convictions"?
It means that the F.B.I. and Attorney General Eric Holder were trying to stir sentiment into additional Federal funding for L.E. And that even though the statistics are not playing out in 2012 that they will continue to push the meme.
What does it matter? What is the purpose of making sure people know that some cops die while apprehending suspects? That doesn't change the statistical fact that cop deaths are down, and also that they are unconstitutional, regardless of what the death rates are. Why all the fussing over statistics anyway?
Actually, that's based on real tangible, quantifiable information. For instance,
"Anything you say can AND WILL be used against you in a court of law..."
Also, the staggering number of cops killing civilians, which nobody seems to have a statistic for.
Either way, it doesn't change the fact that they enforce bad laws and serve as an arm of the state for all its injustice. It also doesn't change the fact that it's an unconstitutional entity.
Kinda hard to get killed when you shoot at anything that might even remotely resemble a threat. Of course... this strategy will only work for so long...
And if that rape victim in the incident report,, even though at the time the victim may have been traumatized and not thinking coherently, were to divulge some information that would benefit the assailant at a later time allowing them to get away with the rape then what?
No, because the same rules apply in every case. If you talk to cops, you are more likely to have a negative outcome. Talk only to your attorney. The rest will be solved in court. The cops don't need to know anything in order for you to have a positive outcome in court.
In my experience, if you don't take the trolls bait and act irrationally the topic will backfire in the trolls face. It looks like that happened.
Azxd, on the off chance you're not just trolling (which seems highly probable at this point), why do you defend the institution responsible for killing innocent people due in many cases to gross negligence, racism, or simple brutality?
These are crimes the cops commit, and if a mundane were to commit them, they'd get sent to jail in a heartbeat. A cop does it, and gets a pat on the back? And that's fine with you?
The "bad apple" argument won't cut it. If it were simply a case of bad apples, these bad apples would be sent to jail, or at the very least fired, which rarely happens.
