Because they aren't held personally responsible. How does this officers family feel about this behavior? I would make sure to let them know and get a dash cam that films front and rear.
Until the police dept. upper command takes a solid stand against this type of behavior, it will not end. This problem has been happening to long to be just a few bad apples. While there may be a few bad apples, those that let it go are bad too. The results usually never prevent a racist cop from continuing that behavior.

A MESSAGE TO THE LAW“ To the police, the public can be those you protect, upon who you enforce laws, and friends all at once. Just be fair and just in all you do.” Author is known I hope the right people who can initiate a CHANGE will find this post. Make no mistake, this country have some excellent, professional, brave, and respectfully honorable Police Officers. I have met some and I know many. However, sprinkled among and around them are some police men and women who need to be removed from any seat or nature of authority which grants them power over anyone or anything. THE BEST WAY TO FIGHT CRIME and start a CHANGE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION of policing in present society is to CHANGE THE MANNER in which EACH POLICE PERSONNEL INTERACT WITH THE PUBLIC. Police Supervisors and Complaint Investigators MUST Take citizens’ complaints seriously and start to address and correct behavior of police personnel who have negative interactions with people. When complaints are dismissed and negative behaviors are not corrected, ROGUE and BAD APPLE COPS are empowered to persist in their trend of putting their fellow police workers in danger and make their departments liable for civil actions by those that were wronged. Now, Police Departments, in efforts to “protect” their officers and (try to) keep themselves from being sued, will DISHONESTLY dismiss legitimate citizens’ complaints and allow a ROTTEN APPLE to remain and fester among their ranks. This happens too often and now, in the year 2019 the police in America have lost public trust by 100% and have very little “friends” and supporters because they have negatively impacted the lives of millions of people from EVERY walks of life. Well, let me correct that, the police have not messed up any politicians or their families or other government officials or their families as yet. But they have abused, beaten, and killed their own members who were in plain clothes or undercover because of the brutish tendencies and gang-like behaviors police possess and exhibit. Remember, police are the trained ones and need to show restraint of their behavior and actions by being fair, honest, respectful, just, and kind to the public they SERVE no matter what attitude that/those member(s) of the public may give you. I know for certain that the job of the police is VERY DANGEROUS, challenging, and sometimes stressful-that is why such a job is NOT FOR JUST ANYONE. Police must possess certain special skills like ethics, strong mental power, determination to serve people, a genuine love for fellow humans, ability to adjust to different and difficult situations, insight, flexibility, be blinded to skin color, race, ethnicity and nationality, and many more skills. The job of police is not for the cowardice, mean-spirited, angry, short-tempered, abusive, close-minded, insensitive, unethical, brutish, or fearful. Police Officers should get a passport and do at least TWO trips to a foreign country with people of different cultures to get some experience and exposure. I am aware that this is a difficult and DANGEROUS job but it must have the right people doing it. If done right by the right set of police personnel, the job of a police Officer can be done by very few people. The job is not about numbers but about tactics, psychology, empathy, care, respect, courtesy, ability to diffuse hostilities, and many more honorable attributes. ONCE UPON A TIME I would feel no fear to call the police if I need them, but NOW I TREMBLE when I think of them coming near me - or am near to wet myself when I might have to interact with them. WHY? Well, a family called the police to help their 17 year old son who was acting “strangely” and could be under the influence of drugs. They called because this child needs help. Maybe when that family was growing up the police would come to help as expected; while one officer speaks with the family to find out more about the 17 year old child, another officer makes an honest effort to create a rapport and positively engage the child to start gaining understanding and trust. But now, when these new breed of police arrive on scene, they exit their government vehicles with guns drawn and some of them start barking commands at the (disturbed) child and the others immediately start shooting the child. Within SIX SECONDS of their arrival the child is dead. How do we expect that family to feel about a situation like that? Again I would like to BEG LAW MAKERS, LEADERS, AND POLICE HIGH COMMANDS to stop, take a look at our present state of emergency, and TAKE SOME CORRECTIVE MEASURES. Start with the training given to police recruits and ongoing training while on the job. Someone somewhere is telling these police personnel that the public is their enemy. I don’t think they are being trained to SAVE LIVES AND SERVE the citizens. This constant fear of people that police say they have must have been planted within them somehow because before they became members of the police department they NEVER go around KILLING people OUT OF FEAR. How can you take an oath to serve those you FEAR so much? Please look into the manner in which police are being trained and programmed to think and act towards the public. Help the police to come to the realization that RIGHT NOW so many people have been negatively affected and their lives terribly impacted by bad police experiences that they (the public) will harbor, have, and exhibit distasteful behavior towards them (the police). Prepare the police for this so that they DO NOT become defensive when it is meted out. Let them know that it would be better to attempt a “change in view” from the public standpoint by being fair, just, positive, respectful of rights and dignity of the citizens with which they interact. Then let them also know that THERE WILL BE NO COVER-UP when they go out there and break the law - violating people’s rights, committing unwarranted killing of the innocent, and lie on sworn reports and testimonies about events. Hold them accountable. OUR LAW MAKERS should write laws that hold police personnel individually responsible for their actions and seize assets and cash from them to pay for damages they rampantly cause when they go rogue. Rogue cops plant evidence and some supervision staff help them to cover messes they cause... even if it means sending innocent people to prison or destroying their lives. When you are not politically connected or famous or rich beyond normal, you are likely to be killed by the police or some TRUMPED UP CHARGES are likely to prevail against you in a court. CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK and the things you think about will change. THIS IS MY FATHER’S WORLD, I will never forget, that though the wrong seems ought so strong, GOD IS THE RULER YET.
A CALL OUT TO THE RIGHTEOUS RICH AMONG US There has to be a change somehow. Maybe this change will be ONLY at the second coming of Jesus Christ. But in the meantime let me reach out to the more wealthy, well-meaning people among us to come together and build communities that will host and house people who are open-minded and want to see a child of all races grow up without experiencing violence, racism, abuse, intimidation, harassment, or loss of life from this breed of non-caring, killer set of law enforcers. I beg the rich - minority and non-minority races- to consider the fact that they have the power and means to effect a change and save our future. People are being oppressed, abused, and killed at-will by police personnel in this country and no one seem to care. The politicians who can change laws to bring a change ARE DOING NOTHING. The police realize this and so they continue to oppress and murder the poor among us. Have we noticed that no rich person’s children or family members are being being murdered? No child or relative of politicians are being abused, beaten, or shot at-will by the American police. It will take the rich among us to do something unselfish and invest in a society that will establish communities that restricts the policing by corrupt cops. Pool money to and make it available to poorer families to have access so that they can afford the best lawyers available to bring serious lawsuits against police departments and hit them where it hurts. We have thousands of wealthy Black actors, sports giants, singers, and other professionals who are able to use their money and power to make a difference. Please, I implore you, help the poor and weak among us who are being oppressed. These law police departments are making NO CHANGE in the way they deal with citizens mostly because they continuously get away with the blatant disregard for life, constitutional rights, and liberty they mete out to the citizens they swore to protect. Only when they see that we have the money and power to HIT THEM BACK HARDER than they hit us will they start bridling their dangerous, killer cops and stop sending them out to abuse, criminalize, or murder innocent citizens.
