Some cops are really good and honest. Many are not. They tend too much towards the circling the wagon mentality when accusations are made rather than being open and having a thorough investigation with transparency and impartiality. The majority of the police at some point do abuse their power to some extent, but the vast majority do not go to any extreme as some of the examples shown here. They need stricter hiring standards and more actually impartial oversight.

I've watched some of his , only thing is you will never see the full story as they have their own team doing the camera work , some times he comes off pretty funny other times he looks like he's about to come unglued

It's just like all TV shows. All incidents get edited, they show what they think will give the best ratings.

yep, just like the 'person on the street' interviews.... where they show folks being asked questions or what ever... you only see the one's they want you to see that tell the story they want you to see. I did a YouTube video a year or so back about how much easier it is to break down an Sig pistol as compared to a Glock... you would not believe how many 'takes' I had to film to get it the way I wanted it to look.

Suicide by cop.

The officer had a legitimate reason to be there since they was threatening people. The guy rasied the gun toward the officer, the officer used appropriate force.

Maybe, many times it is just that. Why? a thousand reasons. Sometimes it is found later by posts, letters, talking to friends or family. In that .001 of a second only one thing maybe certain the person is threatening someone's life. The why needs to be sorted out later.
