Imagine being woken up at 4am and told to get on the ground while you get arrested, treated like a criminal, threatened, have guns pointed at you and then told … sorry … wrong house … waddaygonnado

This is stuff you would expect in a third world country.

    As a nurse, I have to verify your name and birthdate 27 times a day to make sure I don’t give you any medications that could kill you, but a cop is allowed to just assume. No triple checking verification of an address or person’s identity.

    Cool. Totally makes sense 👍

      I work in the finance industry and it’s similar. We have to be certain we’re talking to the right person as fraud is rampant. This is ridiculous.

        But you guys get training to do what you do as efficiently and correctly at possible.

        Police also get training … they spend about three quarters of their time training how to use a gun and look at the world as a place with nothing but suspects and criminals that are ready to kill them. Basically they are trained thugs to intimidate the public and keep people in line.

        They are performing exactly how they were trained.
