Within every group of people, there does exist a certain percentage of 'bad actors.' This was proven by the infamous 'Prison Experiment' conducted in the '70s by Professor Philip Zimbardo at Stanford University. When people are given power, some people tend to use that power in a manner that is not consistent with societal rules. Therefore, the group of 'bad actors' deserve to be punished for their misconduct.
With that being said, Police Officers are heroes. At least in my mind. Judgments made on the fly are challenging. Any person who carries a badge and weapon who responds to danger as everyone else is running away from danger should be commemorated. Police officers give their lives each day they go out for duty. Police misconduct should not be tolerated. The recent verdict in the George Floyd case indicates a possible turning point in rooting out misconduct.
Recently, a professor at a community college in Cypress, California, was having a zoom class in communications. Unfortunately, the conversation turned argumentative when a student was arguing in favor of classifying police officers as heroes. See for yourself in the video below from Twitter:
A professor at Cypress College in Southern California loses it at the notion that cops might be heroes.

Again, I am not in favor of awarding police for misconduct. Any person (officer) who unlawfully treats citizens should be prosecuted. The problem I have with society is that, more often than not, people mistreat law enforcement. When, in fact, they are at fault. In the video below, the teacher is pulled over for using her cellphone while driving (distracted driving) and treats the police officer with a large amount of disrespect. She is completely out of line:
Look at what this cop had to deal with in LA. This is the environment we’ve created by demonizing police. pic.twitter.com/7uPNgRjfzn

Police officers get treated like this for doing their job? Oh, hell no. This lady is a lunatic. She is clearly out of her mind. In the video above, the driver is not driving with her license. Why not? She forgot her license? She does not provide proof of registration or insurance? But just continues to berate the police officer who is clearly doing his job correctly.
This video highlights the need for body cameras. To show the public that abuse is a two-way street. No police officer should be treated like this for doing his/her job. Clearly, society needs to be balanced by the law. Each person should be treated with respect.
