Azmat, I read what K.I.M. said and understand it. Yet, I don't agree one single minute! There are peoples who came from "bad neighbourhood" who got out. All it requires is to make an effort. Not all kids around that area are bad kids. I bet the majority are good!
But no, some decide to go the lazy way, to "feel the power" without seemingly any responsibility. Guess what? That's not the way a society work! There are rules for a reason: keep the peace.
I did have some argumentation with cops before and, quite often, I won! I never got physical with them, I went to court or to their superiors.
Yes, I'm white but, would it make such difference? When somebody comes in for a complaint, dressed like a "gangsta", speaking like a "gangsta" and with a "gangsta" attitude, would you take them seriously or would you treat them like a "gangsta"?
The cops are faced with these peoples who want anything besides being nice to them, 100% of the time. What can they do? Stay nice all the time and wait to be hit first? Yes, they are probably totally arrogant when approaching these "gangsta-type" of peoples but, most of these "gangsta" understand nothing else and the cops would get laugh at. Can the cops know beforehand what type of peoples they are going to meet? Not at all! What's more threatening? A "gangsta" looking guy who only "plays gangsta" or a real "gangsta? Easy answer but it's impossible to differentiate just by looking so, the cops just won't take any chances and will "show authority" with everyone.
As far as the statement "How many times did i see some officer showing their gun for NOTHING just to impress and let people know they got the power.", permit me to doubt this! Every time a cop draws his weapon in public, it's almost considered as using it so, the paperwork to fill is not very pleasing... Cops try as much as possible to avoid this so, if a gun get out of the holster, there's a reason. Yes, yelling at the cop while walking towards him in a menacing way and telling him he will get busted does count as a valid reason to show his gun and, in my opinion, when there's 6 guys coming at 2 cops, some with a violent history, it's a valid reason to use that gun...
