Lol, this is the best "jump to conclusions" thread I've seen in a while. Both sides are doing the exact same thing.
"Woah, let's not jump to conclusions here, the cop probably acted properly, and had reasons for what he did."
"Hey now, let's not jump to conclusions and say there might be more to the story, this woman probably didn't do anything to deserve it."
I don't know why we have to have these extremes on CP when it comes to cops. And it's always the same posters on the same sides. Like I can look at the usernames in this thread and not even read the posts and know who's going to be defending the cop and calling out the lady and who will be doing the opposite.
Personally I like my style the best (who would have thought), it's how I was raised. Question everything the cops do and don't give them the benefit of the doubt, because there are bad apples, and they have some of the highest power in the land, and the ability to change peoples lives for better or worse.
But I respect the hell out of them, and really appreciate everything they do for us as a society. I would put Canadian, and specifically Calgary cops up against any law enforcement agency in the world. But that doesn't mean I'll read any news story and go "Yeah, I'll go with the cop on this one, dude probably deserved whatever he got for whatever he did, cops do no wrong".
