That was funny. One of these guys should be promoted to Chief of Police just for having a sense of humor.

I'm personally not amused. I'm a honky gringo cracker, do have black friends, some of which have been unjustifiably abused by the so called law enforcers which seem to be the biggest law breakers in the country. I think it's disgusting how we have all these double standards, how law enforcement isn't held accountable. Qualified immunity should be done away with.

The reason this is funny is because it is accurate, same reason the officers got suspended. Evil hates to be exposed, much less mocked. It is encouraging to see a couple of cops acknowledge their over the top behavior in any form. I do not approve of abusive behavior perpetuated upon anyone by anyone else whether they wear a badge or not.
I will be dating myself by saying that I think we would be better off eliminating most of the police force. Many years ago in rural America the school boys all carried pocketknives, and when older had rifles and shotguns in the gun racks in their pickups at high school. We had 1 sheriff that patrolled the whole county which had several small communities surrounding a couple of grain elevators every 10 miles or so. No deputies. Later on the county seat hired a city policeman for whatever reason. Most people thought this position was redundant. These areas had very minimal amounts of crime, most people were God-fearing and behaved so. The big crime I remember from those days occurred early one fall morning when my friend's dad got a call telling him one of his grain trunks was heading south down the highway carrying 2 unknown guys. He jumped in his El Comino and caught up to them about 15 miles or so out of town. With the assistance of his .357 he was able to convince them the prudent course of action was to abandon the truck and wait for the sheriff. No one was injured and no property lost.
