Is it right for cops to set you up on purpose ? If you ever watch cops lol, they set people up and some people that get caught wouldn't have done it regularly but they got set up and everything.
Depends on your moral view. I think being undercover cops infiltrating a drug lord mafia gang in order to stop them and bring them to justice is quite righteous.
Example...
Cop dresses as a prostatue...
IF a civilian walks up to the cop and offers sex for money.. Then the cop can arrest them..
If the civilian walks by the cop and the cop asks the civilian if they want sex for money, then its entrapment....
Well, what guarantee do I have that "they" DO it right?
None.
Undercover cops have been known to infiltrate peaceful rallies and stir up hell to break it up.

BF> Nope, not all cops are bad. That would be a ludicrous statement.
However, some are.
And the rally in question was a peaceful, legal one. I have no idea why the "civil" cops started trouble. I take it the ralliers and the cops are old "enemies", you know?
Draco69> Any who on EARTH should arrest and prosecute the civil policemen who started the riot? Themselves?? The people at the rally?
Christ, what a stupid remark.

Um. Let's THINK. You're a police officer. You're job is to maintain the peace. If a peaceful rally doesn't disrupt the toils of everyday life than the police wouldn't do anything but keep a watchful eye.
YOU'RE saying that the police officers would endanger the lives of not only themselves or the rally participants but those around them by actively causing disruptions and instigating a potential riot. Which is just a stupid comment at that. Why would a police officer make his or hers job HARDER by instigating a riot.
And for some odd reason you're ALSO saying the undercover officers would not only instigate the riot but also LET it go on. Which is even an even more stupid comment. It doesn't make sense.
It's like Superman giving giving people grenades. He just WANTS to make his life harder. Right? Riiiight.
Besides, only hippies protest, and they're rarely peaceful. Usually someone gets pissed off and throws something at a cop, and then the cop tasers them and then the protestors start attacking the cops and then the cops beat up the protestors and then they riot and everyone just forgets that that one protestor threw something to start it and just blames the cop for tasering the shithole.
if an undercover cop busts a crime ring or puts away someone dangerous, kudos. If an undercover cop agetates a riot, kills someone, or entraps someone, he should get what he deserves. A police officer is an officer of the public trust. If he does something criminal, the protections against assaulting an officer should no longer apply.
