I think we need to pay cops more, and give them more vacation and trianing (and yes, I'll pay more in taxes for this), because their jobs are fucking hard. And I don't wantn them working when they're super stressed out.
They need to be above beating people up to get them to comply, and absolutely above retaliation, which should be treated as a new crime IMHO.
Just because you're an asshole to cops (up to and including some physical abuse), they should have the training and tools to be able to take you into custody without physical harm caused by them.
We should also require cops to have a 4 year college degree to go along with the higher pay. This kind of negative cop behavior goes down with the more education they have.
