    This kind of thinking exists across job titles. It's not just cops, but of course cops (judges too) are in a really unique position for their bigotry to negatively impact lives.

    LMAO keep up your silly little childish game of trying to bait people into commenting on stories they have no interest in commenting on. Deflect? LOL as far as I am concerned I am right on topic. The topic of this thread is your & G8tas childish attempts to call out "the other side" by inviting them to join in your silliness.

    Funny. I think police culture like this and white supremacy in power is one of America's 3 biggest problems

    Still no comment on the racist cop. Since you refuse to condemn him, I'll just have to assume you support him. Par for the course.

    Some will vehemently disagree and tell you that corrupt police culture and white supremacy don't exist, but I agree with you.

    This just in, hot off the press….there are assholes who live among us.
    You don’t like it that I won’t pile on the obvious.
    P.S. I’ve been mishandled by the police, thrown in jail for the night for doing absolutely nothing. But you won’t see me picking on cops. I try not to pick at the people who are mostly trying to do an extremely difficult job. Just because I ran into a piece of trash LEO, doesn’t mean they’re all like this.

    There just aren’t that many racists like some here believe. Bias exists and will always exist, it’s in our nature.

    Interesting how you suddenly understand the concept of "they're not all bad" when it comes to police, you should remember that the next time you're about to go on one of your patented "evil libbies" rants.

    Saying black people are one of America's biggest problems isn't bias, it's racism. And there are definitely more (not all, before you get your feelings hurt) cops who feel similarly.

    Libbies are mostly doing the devils work. Come on man.

    Of course there are a few more. There are teachers, bankers and Disney cast members who are flat out racist. Let’s get em all!

    As far as I'm concerned police, politicians and the media are equally as corrupt and untrustworthy. For some reason the right has a love affair with police and hates criticizing them, but will unleash hell on (liberal) politicians and the media, even when police departments have proven to be rife with corruption. Funny how that works.

    Neither a racist teacher, banker and Disney cast member have the ability to stop a random black person and arrest or harass them because they don't like the color of skin. You know who does? A racist police officer like the one this thread is about, Mr. Cop Lover.

    I would take it a step farther, using a little original sin theology. All humans and human institutions are corrupt and corruptible. Our whole constitutional separation of powers is based upon that fact, and seeks to remedy this all too human shortcoming with accountability and outside checks on power. My major problem with police culture is at they are not accountable due to the way our society works.

    I think it's a corrupt culture now, far more than most in society, but not because the individuals that are police are uniquely corrupt humans, but because it's a culture that has been insulated from accountability. The only threat most of them face from misconduct is from the inside if they do the right thing.

    I agree. The culture itself contributes to them being seen as bulletproof from criticism and accountability. Just look no further than this thread for proof, there are posters who will spend paragraphs spewing vitriol at the "crooked Dems" and the "corrupt media"....but once the topic is about the "corrupt police" they get all defensive and suddenly they have excuses for the corruption. They should ask themselves why their instinct is to abhor some types of corruption while defending other types.

    I do appreciate and respect the police. If they are ever in line with me at fast food, I try to pick up their tab. You should try it out sometime. Police are simply not overwhelmingly corrupt and racist like you say. You are flat out wrong!

    If you subscribe to the theory that the media and liberal politicians are corrupt, then you need to throw police into the mix, because we have documented evidence that plenty (not all) are just as bad. Keep that same energy, don't pick and choose.

    What a dumb ass hole you’ve decided to dig. Even the resident hard core libbies in TH won’t support this lame attempt to lump all the cops into your racist pot.

    Police, politicians and the media. All corrupt entities in America. I have the guts to call them all out, while you cowardly only choose to call out politicians and the media. That's just the truth.
