    Machine - Who said anything about bad cops not being out their? I think the topic was about these protesters that have been threatening the cops, causing destruction, robbing/destroying businesses, robbing individuals in the name of Michael Brown, throwing bricks and urine at police among other acts of violence, are now calling for "Moral Monday". You can justify it any way you want, but this isn't the way to have your civil disobedience.

    As a side note, your video of the cop "knocking out" the teen for a misunderstanding, why only this amount of the video? Why not show what led up to the boy being on the ground? Why not show how much he was talking back to the cop and resisting arrest? Also, if you look, after he is supposedly punched (of course you couldn't see it), he is holding his face. Even when being turned over, he is still holding his face. It isn't until the kid starts yelling "you knocked him out" that his body goes limp. Not saying the cop was right by any means, but there are many people antagonizing the cops on video just to get a reaction that they can edit and exploit to make them look bad.

    The cop stealing from the guy, yes, immoral and he should be punished to the fullest.

    The baby that was severely burned, terrible accident. I don't think it was purposeful. If it was, the yes immoral and the cop should be punished severely. If not, then the cop should still be punished for a terrible careless mistake.

    Let me ask you since I believe you said you live in the Ferguson area. How many black on black murders have there been within a 10 mile radius of Michael Browns shooting since it happened? Where is the outcry from the community to stop the violence. That is where most of this stems from. The cops go into a bad area, they feel threatened and alone because they know they will get no help from the public if something should happen to them. When they have to get involved with someone, they have to be on alert because they never know when someone is going to come up from behind and hurt them or pull a weapon or try to take their weapon. Many times, they have to act swiftly and harshly to try and take control of a situation before it gets out of hand. Someone attacks an officer and tries to take his weapon, shortly after using his size against a smaller man and the cop has to defend/defuse the situation. When I was a kid, we used to say don't bring a knife to a gun fight, well you shouldn't count on your size when starting trouble with a person with a gun. You shouldn't start shooting at a cop with a gun unless you have very good aim because he is going to start shooting back and probably has more time behind his trigger than you have.

    These thugs want to fight, run, threaten until they realize they are beat then want everyone to quit. Unfortunately, once you proved to a cop that you can not be trusted and that you will hurt them if given even half a chance, they are not going to drop their defenses just because you cry uncle. Don't start none, won't be none.
