I do not condone police brutality and/or misconduct in any way, and believe that a LEO found guilty of such things should be punished to the full extent possible. They should be held to a higher standard given their position. However, every incident that's been in the news lately would have been prevented if the "victim" simply behaved responsibly. That includes doing what they were supposed to do, and not doing what they weren't supposed to.

I believe it's called being a law-abiding citizen, and showing respect for authority.

Not sure why this would surprise me - it's a product of "the Obama Justice Department". My favorites:

The words "reasonable" and/or "unreasonable" appear 49 times in the 103-page consent decree.

And who's to decide what's "appropriate"? A civilian, someone with no experience in subduing dangerous suspects, will be placed at the head of the police department's Internal Affairs division
...
Officers will not discharge a firearm from or at a moving vehicle, unless use of lethal force is justified by something other than the threat from the moving vehicle;

So in the case of the last one, a felon behind the wheel of a car, trying to run over a LEO and shooting at them through the window, is not justification for the LEO to shoot back?!

I feel sorry for the cops in Cleveland. Next thing you know, they'll have to stop wearing uniforms and keep their guns concealed so they don't offend someone.
