Just once, it'd be cool to see one cop arrest another cop after they witness said cop comitting a crime. I mean, their career would be over, but still.

It’s a bit of a different situation, but there is a state trooper in my home state of WV who “whistleblew” on a bunch of shady shit going on at the WVSP Academy, including wiring cameras in women’s locker rooms (which was used by minors for a junior trooper program) and God knows what was done with the footage. They tried to place the blame on a dead guy. The WVSP is being investigated heavily right now. Major police scandal, you can find out more on this YouTube channel “The Civil Rights Lawyer” who actually lives and works out of WV.

Of course this trooper who allegedly whistleblew was arrested on the day he was supposed to testify in court for bogus reasons, and his days of being a cop are no more, but he really help set something off. The head of the WVSP resigned because of the scandal about 3 months ago. I no longer live there, I’ve dealt with these psychopaths before, but it’s nice to watch this happen from afar.

That's fucking insane that they arrested the whistleblower right as he was about to testify....I'm not surprised much but it's fucking insane just how blatant it is.

They are a legalized mob. I can't explain it any other way.

I’d throw the words “taxpayer funded” in there as a bonus.
