Earlier quoted context omitted.

not at all this story is a great example of this, but there are others

Of course there are others. There are also many people having pleasant experiences with cops every day - they don't make it to the top of Hacker News.

Really? Who has pleasant experiences with cops besides other cops? Honest question.

Generally I disagree that litigation is ever the answer. But in this case OP should take their jobs because they don't deserve to wear the badge.

I admit that I dislike cops and that I've never had a positive interaction with one. But there are some cops who legitimately want to do a good job and make their city safer. And these guys are shitting all over that.

Video all interactions with police more serious than a traffic stop and video those if you can get away with it legally. Cameras are cheap and Internet streaming is easy.

And this is why I fucking HATE COPS. I don't care if it's the few, this god damn country-wide gang is a piece of shit and I will do everything I can to avoid them and teach my two children about staying away as well. Fuck these pigs.

It's really easy to focus on the bad ones, but good cops exist whether you know it or not.

Would you eat apples from a bag if there was a chance that 50% of them were poisonous? 25%? 10%? 1%?

After reading the first paragraph I already knew where this was headed.

White America welcome to black America. You'll be arrested for nothing at all. The first time it happens you'll be really upset and threaten to sue, and file a police report. And when you do there will be some sort of roadblock, they won't have the forms, the officer in question wasn't on shift that night, the detective is quite hostile to you, the victim.

You'll learn what I've learned. Don't trust the police for shit. All of the things I've listed I've done and it only made life difficult until I left for college.

Noting your criticism of another comment on this story let me tell you this comment of yours comes across as equally if not more vapid. No one, I think, doubts that there exist good cops. But thats almost irrelevant because its the bad ones that one has to watch out for. You have not claimed so,its not a response to you, but I also dont think "only a few bad apples here and there" holds as well as one would like either.

I think that's a bit of an exaggeration, don't you?

Your name is BlackDeath, but I assume that you're white, for saying this?

Well, look who it is.

Why is my username relevant? Show me where I suggest that no bad cops exist. However, "police are never your friend" is an exaggeration.

Learn the lesson: police are never your friend, helping others WILL get you punished eventually - all good deeds are punished in the long run, police can and will do whatever they want to you with no repercussions. Keep your head down and enjoy your free country.

Exactly. No good deed goes unpunished.

But how can she call the paramedics without the police?

When you call 911, don't you get the option for Police, Fire or Ambulance? That is the way it works in Australia.
