The Connection Between Serial Killers and Troubled Police Officers

Seeing videos of civilians being subject to the barrel of police guns and authoritarian aggression, the message from the image is meant for the public to see suspects as the villain. But when the public constantly sees videos of law enforcement abuse, people begin to wonder who the villains actually are.

If the message the police wants to send is fear of a criminal public, that message is surely backfiring toward fear of the police. Evolving intelligence and cellphone video gives people the ability to understand situations they can see with their eyes and not based on hearsay or propaganda.

Social scientist are brought to the television screens as experts to diagnose mass murderers, serial killers and terrorist as mentally ill and have even categorized them as such; and follow up with various treatment suggestions. They figure these people are not in their right minds when they decide to shoot into a crowd of people. Hence the political push for more mental health services.

Killing is definitely a psychological calculation that people have when they decide to take another person’s life. The same goes for police officers. If they can take a person’s life with ease and feel no remorse afterward but are told they are free and clear, this is a serious problem in society and a psychological misprint in the minds of those who condone such behavior.

The fear of being killed in a street crime is not one that should ever again be placed on the public as a burden, but on the authority and presence of police officers, especially white ones. Civilians or any person of color for that matter, are not the problem; the problem is white men with guns given the legal right to kill others for no good reason.
