[QUOTE="Reiser99, post: 1054835, member: 72977"] You have a point about tampering with the videos and case files, those are the actions of officers who know they are in the wrong. Also I'm not excusing their actions, I'm pointing out that America has developed a police culture of using force first. It doesn't make it right, but there is an implication that these officers are the exception, not the rule when actually they way they behave is how may officers in America behave. My point is that if an American is outraged by this, but also votes for politicians who keep the status quo then they have accept some responsibility. About gun culture, again it doesn't make the actions of the police right, but as long as they are worried about someone pulling a gun they will always use force first. That is part of the American culture and if you support it then you can't be surprised when an officer uses force. It's not an excuse, it's a factor that helps cause the situation. Life is not as simple as 'he was just a corrupt, violent police officer', there can be others factors that have helped create the situation without calling them an excuse. [/QUOTE]
