Quote: " sometimes the innocently portrayed behave with guilt, as does the guilty behave with innocence. Does this mean they are both guilty or innocent?"

I think for Australia and New Zealand, they should be tried by their own people. Like some kind of military tribunal for police. It would be unfair to try them in a normal court because media attention would condemn the officer for doing his job a little to brutally. In a police court, everyone involved would be aware of the circumstances involved.

weel that would make sense, probably why the millitary already do it. but how would that look in the eyes of the public if bulk police officers start being tried by the law they so despirately try to uphold?

While most cops conduct themselves honestly and professionally, you'll always have a few corrupt ones who like to abuse their power.

Once again, because they're not like us. They're essentially different people. They're forced to do things we're not.
If they were tried the same way we are, there would be more police officers inside for assault than actual police officers. Im sure that would go down well.

No matter what police do, there will always be a bunch of fools who think they're doing the worng thing. Just like all other parts of society, you can't please everyone, and there are always pathetic tools out there who are overly critical of everything when they, themselves, are useless and couldn't do a better, or more fair job.

It's wrong as a metaphor. Hence the phrase "only really applicable to physics".

agreed that they are not like us. but, is it not the same law?

yes there will allway be a bunch of fools thinking they are doing the wrong thing, but there are those out there who believe they all have the capacity to do the right thing and make justified decisions what ever they may entail, in correspondence to the law.

what i'm getting at, is that there are too many unjustified decisions being made in today's society by officers, enough to attract the public. this is not good for either side and has the potential to blow out of proportion.

yes they are froced to things we are not, but that doesnt include for example: tasering a bloke 28 times to death, where 1 taser is more than sufficient to subdue the bloke. that is unjustified in my eyes what ever the situation may be.

Something doesn't seem right there. In order to make a decision, i'd like to see the tazer gun for myself. The readings those things give are inaccurate. Electricity does not conform to our laws

He got 1 from the police, and 27 more for the inconvenience of causing a domestic. I'd have given him 10 more to make sure.
