Bingo! Exactly - you hit the nail on the head.

Here's a thing: go on the Bend Police Dept or Sheriffs Dept websites and try finding the place where you can register a complaint.... not so easy.

Who do they think they are exactly?

It is not the citizen's job to "show respect" to cops.... who the hell do they think they are?  When did "disrespect of cop" become a crime?  The police attracts too many guys who "didn't quite make the football team" if you get my drift.  It is quite obvious when you meet them.

We have a right to complain - in a real "profession" things wouldnt "go wrong" so frequently.  Police attitude is appalling .

I just have to jump in here: Policing is NOT a profession.  Medicine and Law are professions ... policing is a job. 

We should also stop calling it Law Enforcement as it gives the wrong impression to cops

Humphreys is a legitamized murderer, pure and simple.  He should be taken off the streets before he executes someone else.

Ask any cop and they will tell you they are trained to shoot to kill.... get over it, you're a target and the police regard themselves as "authority" and there's no way now to enforce limits on that authority.

He clearly has a Dirty Harry complex - but Clint Eastwood didnt shoot at 12 year old girls on the ground.  What on earth was he thinking?  How couldl this thug go home to his family after doing such a disgusting thing at work?

Definitely - the thug should be fired, immediately

No... she was a 12 year old girl period. 

We need to police the cops - they're out of control.  And it's irrelevant what she was doing out at night. 

Why do so many Americans not trust the cops?  Much better question.
