Over stressed or power mad? or Both

 

I feel sorry for the woman that was obviously abused by the private police/security force at the airport.

 

It amazes me that many message boarders want to blame the victim. 

Everyone has the right to question people in places of authority...that is our basic right...we are not subservient to security guards/police.  They are supposed to be there to help keep us safe; Not take out their stress on us.  So even IF - IF - the woman had asked why or anything else that doesn't warrant the physical abuse she received.  As Dr. Phil pointed out the male Police Officer that started the abuse of the woman was obviously aggitated prior to speaking to her......Was he looking for someone to vent his stress out on? Did she somehow remind him of someone he was angry with?  It LOOKED on the video that he was LOOKING TO HURT SOMEONE and she happened to be the victim...he was a bomb ready to explode.

 

What is scariest about the incident is that it points to a pattern in our society where we are seeing this type of thing far too often (from police who are supposed to protect us and treat us in a professional manner); If we can no longer TRUST the police and others in similar positons (security guards/TSA) then what happens? 

 

Do these "private police personnel" go through quarterly stress evaluations? And why do the Authorities over these police always state "they were acting within acceptable limits".  If abuse is acceptable then we have a national crisis. 

Will the society end up in anarchy? If we love our country we have to raise our voices and demand better treatment.
