Disagree.

I gave the example of resisting arrest,which can be easily manipulated by twisting your hand and getting you to jump from that pain. So resisting can now be seen as a hate crime and this now gives power to throw people away for a much longer time.
This is not a attack on individuals but the concept of policing that has gone far off course from what it used to be.

- Revenue Generating
Its now common for all police forces to generate funds by handing out tickets and this is quite obvious near the end of the month when they need to fill their quota.

- Arm of Government not the People
When has a police force ever taken the side of the people in a peaceful protest?

You also have a high number in the states of returning war veterans that are stream lined into the police force.
So its not wonder the police forces are running more like military than a actual police unit. Factor in PTSD and you have a timebomb waiting to go off.

Not a attack on individuals but the concept of policing today is bullshit!
So there will come a time when people will be judged for deciding to wear a badge.
The issue of first response people being attacked is not good but we have charges for that,hate crime is a serious offense here and I am sure it holds even more weight in the States.

Pretty simple for me,not going to hand over more power.
