My default is to side with the cops
I think they have a tough job that, when done right, benefits all of us.
But when they go bad, it can be VERY bad.
This cops (and that is what they were) who dragged the doctor off the plane, are a prime example of bad cops badly trained. Did we really need what was functionally identical to a street gang of big, burley guys dragging a 69 year old man from an airplane for refusing to give up his seat?
Part of the root cause, at least as I see it, is a culture of muscles and guns and overwhelming force and loud shoutting and zero tolerance and them vs us and dehumanization and authoritarianism. That culture, while it may not technically come from the top, is clearly tolerated at the top.
Now the guys on the plane were airport cops. They don't directly get involved in street policing, but all cops are a brotherhood of sorts. They get influenced by their brothers (and sisters) serving elsewhere. That shoed in their deplorable behavior in this incident.
What it will take is to purge EVERY cop house of bad cops. You want zero tolerance? How about ZT for bad cops. Root them out with prehiring screening. Do some level of psychological screening along with drug testing (including for bulk-building steroids).
Cell phone phone videos help enormously in shining lights on bad cops. And that's a good thing. What needs to be added to the mix is good cops rewarded for shunning (at a minimum) bad cops. It is the cop to cop brotherhood that may be the bigger factor in this. A cop who rats another cop is the one shunned when it really should be the other way around.
All in all, we need better leadership and better hiring standards. And no tolerance for bad cops. And that includes cops who have bad attitudes but have yet to act grievously bad and cross the line.

In the meantime, liberals are pushing cities, counties and states to lower their hiring standards to allow more minorities to pass the screenings.
In fact, Obama's Department of inJustice went so far as to sue a sheriff's department for not hiring non-citizens.

Denver Sheriff Department penalized for wrongful hiring practices
The sheriff’s department will pay a $10,000 fine and will have to sort through old applications to identify people who were eliminated from consideration because they were not U.S. citizens

Mike complains about a "us vs them" culture, but his time on Skin's island has been spent perpetuating exactly that type of attitude towards those with whom he disagrees. If it's the kind of behavior that's not advantageous for the advancement of society, then when is Mike going to do his part and conduct himself in a quiet, unassuming way?
Mike needs to either shut up or move out of his glass house.

Hey Internet Laughing Stock,
This is what happens when you have a low IQ community agitator as president for 8 years.

You, and your mind-numbingly retarded fellow Gerber® burpers wouldn't happen to notice that 99% of that shit happens in your BlUtopias. do you?
Nah............. :bird:

All this blithering, and he still hasn't figured out what George Washington meant 220 years ago when he said:
"Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master."
These were servants of the massive overarching government that you advocate for, Stinky. They were acting on the behest of their true masters, the bureaucrats, instead of those who pay their wages. When you realize that the only way to reduce the amount of "bad cops" you have in society is to reduce the amount of government.
