I'm not the biggest fan of cops, especially by-the-book-if-you-go-even-2-miles-over-speed-limit-I'm-writing-you-a-ticket cops, but its quite clear that we need cops and their job is uniquely dangerous.

However I am gradually getting disturbed by the tremendous amount of videos and press lately about cops going "too far" or doing something out of line when arresting or dealing with the public.

Its getting to be a disturbing trend, I dunno if its the youtube era cuz I'm sure theres always been abuse by cops since the dawn of time, but I cant help but be concerned that this will have adverse effects:

1) Cops become less confident in their duties, and become more wary of the media watchdog, and let their guards down and end up getting hurt. or worse.

2) Cops are even more agitated by the negative spotlight and as a result become more vindictive or unnecessarily aggressive as seen in many videos these days.

I dunno
