Problem is anti-social behavior in policing. I know there are many good cops out there, but I think instead of calling for the people to" Back the blue", they should be returning that with a counter movement: "Blue back the people". They are also a part of the people. You see many do this, particularly sheriffs. The problem is the brotherhood attitude. This allows abuses to go unpunished, there is social pressure within departments and constabularies, to protect someone who makes a practice of aggressive, anti-social policing. You should never lie about law, or misrepresent law, or be angry at a counter-argument that exposes your mistake as an officer. The idea that you can't be wrong, especially when you have some power over the person confronting you, is in my opinion, the a solid indicator of social dysfunction in an individual. We're all guilty of this stuff. You might think someone is a moron, so why are they telling me X!? The key problem is when you think that about EVERYONE else. The reason lawyers exist is to make a practice of laws, the same is true of judges. The police often get it wrong, and most often, it's because it's a bullheaded and anger filled police officer doing it. These are the last people you want in a position of power.
We should never be in the position that we don't trust our police forces, but we are, and that's because we have eyes to see, and have most of us, at least once, interacted with an unprofessional, perhaps even abusive officer. Antisocial behavior should have no place in a police department.
In order to be trustworthy, police have to remove abusive, unprofessional, and aggressive police; people will continue to notice, and be unsupportive. It's oppressive to the people, particularly to the poor, whom the Lord God has instructed us NOT to oppress.
Good cops out there, I'm ex-mil and I understand the social pressure, but I hope you will hear my words and adopt this viewpoint. If you rid yourselves of these guys; create systems designed to weed out these guys and you will have incredible support from the people. An upright man will enjoy serious support.
Nice BS rant, but what has this to do with an asshole breaking an ordinance banning the raking, shoveling, blowing grass, leaves, clippings, snow into the street?
I didn't think that Derek Chauvin was a bad cop. I think he was very lightly and gingerly kneeling on the small of Floyd's back, and I think Floyd died to drugs in his system.
I do think a larger percentage than many police officers would like to admit, of LEOs are abusive, not only to persons whom they are policing, but also to family members.
In this situation. I really don't think breaking an ordinance warrants police involvement. I don't think the police should be called for an ordinance violation. If were being real here: Ordinances can be good, or they can be nanny laws that people with a lot of time on their hands use to be anti-social, un-neighborly with others. Sometimes they are necessary, other times, they are baloney. Let his HOA fine him, for what reason does an LEO need to come there, other than to collect a bounty for the township?
The problem with a ton of these laws is they are often petty tyranny.
I feel like a lot of people say "I want to live in a great society again" but that great society is a place where people cared about each other too. Christian men and women made society great. Grown men didn't worry about where grass clippings were, or where snow, that melts, is sitting.
I am a biker. I my bike is a 1977 BMW R100 (Standard/Classic). I previously rode a 2009 Yamaha R6S (Sport bike), and previous to that I had a 2012 Ninja 250, and a 2001 Honda Shadow ACE (Cruiser).
This argument doesn't hold water; we look out for the exactly these scenarios for exactly this reason. More people fall due to sand, gravel, and oil than grass clippings.

Guess you have never heard of the 100's of bikers injured or killed each yr because some f%()waffle blew grass into the streets.
