As Ferguson's officials found out, you can make much more money through fines, penalties, and surcharges.

While I think that would an excellent idea, those proposed bills making it illegal to record the cops will just give the brave boys in blue ("he was running away from me, I was a-skeered for my life!") *another* reason to hassle the very people they were sworn to "serve and protect".

^^THIS^^The NYPD actually spends a lot of time and effort on weeding out the many assholes among each year's batch of applicants. I suppose they do get most of 'em, but by no means do they catch them all. Small town PDs don't have the resources to do this, and it shows.

I know there are a lot of good cops out there. But these "isolated" incidents are making it harder and harder to believe that is true.

... like trying to defend yourself from getting beat up by a cop will get you charged with assault (even if all you did was try to deflect the blows coming at your face), it just is, SHUT UP!!!1!
