It has always been said that only a very small percentage of the population are the one's who commit most of the crimes.
However,
If you talk to police officers, they will tell you they rarely ever arrest a first time offender.
Accordingly, if the police rarely ever arrest a first-time offender, then the vast majority of police arrests would have to be repeat offenders.
Are cops perfect? No. Are there always bad apples in any organization? Yes.
However, was police brutality really a problem before the 1990's?
Or perhaps the 1980's and earlier?
Wouldn't it be the type of criminal the police are encountering?
That is, the police are encountering far more criminals that have been in and out jail many, many times versus say 1st offenders or shoplifters?
And are police encountering far more criminals that are under the influence or alcohol, marijuana, drugs, etc. than say before the 1980's? And if the police are encountering repeat offenders that under the influence of a drug, wouldn't these criminals be far more difficult to communicate and deal with?
There are some police groups that also want more restrictions on guns, however, shouldn't it be asked, "What type of person is really pulling the trigger to these guns?" Is it almost always the type of criminal that has been in and out of jail multiple times with the bail bond companies profiting from the release of the career criminal?
Likewise, Does America have a Police Brutality problem? Or does it have a repeat offender problem?
How can government crime statistics say that violent crime is down for at least the last decade or so when the
(A) jails are overcrowded
(B) there is too much "police brutality",
(C) there is demand for gun control and
(D) there is a school to prison pipeline for Carrot-Fed juveniles?
And moreover, how can crime be down when personal and business security products are at all-time high in sales?
