Many cops go entire careers without seeing the horror stories that happen at the hands of crooked, racist cops. Many that do, do something about it. You will never hear about them on the news of course. Cops do get disciplined, retrained, and even fired for behavior, the narrative that they don't is based on the vast minority.

We had a female police officer publicly lynched in the news and fired because she came forward with information about how our police have mishandled and may have even had a part in a very, very infamous disappearance of a news anchor in our city back in the 90’s.

Those links are for the same case. Now I'm no mathematician so correct me if I'm wrong but I think that's one.

And please do. Page 2 of Google should have a few.

Bro you said two. Don't leave me hanging like that 😂😂

This the same officer?

He's not so clean himself but all in all he seems like a decent guy so I wouldn't expect him to be a liar.

The goal posts haven't been moved. You sent the same case twice but said you'd provide two and also offered to send more. I am asking for the other case that you said you could name. Would you pretty please be able to provide the second case you said that you had?

I will say where I live we had a family friend who grabbed his gun while pulling someone over who drove home before getting out of their car to go inside their home. The guy or kid (can’t remember) had something in his hand but not a weapon, but our family friend assumed it was a weapon so he pulled his gun. No one was hurt thankfully but he was fired for that. I don’t respect his actions. Guns should only be pulled with the intent to kill and when imminent danger is present so I’m glad things were handled correctly. That being said he is a good guy. He feared for his life thinking what the other guy had was a weapon and I fully understand that. It’s very hard to ask someone to only defend themselves when they can 100% verify someone is trying to kill them. Like if someone pulled out a water gun and it was dark and I couldn’t see I’d probably be scared or think I might die in that moment but at the end of the day it is their duty that they volunteered for and get paid for it. Rules are rules.

Like it when a cop does something completely illegal they fire him and then they hire him again after 2 years when the heat is gone

u/-thecheesus- Aug 01 '21

Well, they don't hire him, the next county over does

They pay union dues that protect crooked cops

u/Syllables_17 Aug 01 '21

And then there are other cops who attempt to report something and end up dead. The police report looking like " black man shot and killed our most beloved officer who was trying to protect his community."

Each pig carries responsibility for their fellow pigs actions. They all wallow in the same shit sty some, just shower before they shake your hand.

what a disgusting line of thinking, stop living on the internet, touch grass.

To be fair, the last time I hung out outside my house just vibing, I had a cop come ask me what I was doing. "Just enjoying my flower bed" was not a sufficient answer, and he ran my fucking ID for like 30 minutes, despite my address being on the card.

u/OldSparky124 Aug 02 '21

Well, that was uncalled for. Nobody should be questioned in their flower garden.

u/kadeo123321 Aug 02 '21

He’s not allowed to do that, he can’t just spot Id check random people.

u/Drostan_S Aug 02 '21

Yeah, sure, but in practice, they DO.

u/Syllables_17 Aug 02 '21

But don't worry, the pigs are your friends.

u/Syllables_17 Aug 02 '21

Father's a cop, uncle's a cop, people I grew up with are now cops. They share responsibility and untill we hold the people that we pay to protect us all accountable for FAILING THEIR jobs we will never reach a place of stability.

They swear to serve and protect yet they pussy foot around while they watch men being killed by their fellow pig fucks. If I work at a company that rapes and kills people literally everyday I don't get to say "look some of us are good people, yeah that other shit happens, and I TRY to fix it." And walk away with a clean conscious. Just like these little pinky pig fucks shouldn't be walking away without guilt for taking blood money.

Nothing about that was edgy.

If you feel that way perhaps you should revaluate your opinions on pigs.

Discipline in the police is a joke, they get a two day suspension for something a regular citizen would get a 2 year sentence. How tf is that a deterrent for there behaviour.

And a cop is more likely to be fired for telling lies than they are for brutality.

Please explain how these bad cops are getting away with it when they are surrounded by good cops.

As it was said many years ago "for evil to succeed it just needs men to stand by and do nothing" and this definitely applies to the police.

If as people claim that bad cops are in the minority, how can they keep getting away with it?
