    Don’t let Republicans know about this, or they’ll move to get it banned from history books.

    What I mean to say is there are many really bad people in ALL professions, including in our police departments. But the Left will take this tragedy and find funding to defend their local police departments, because of these bad cops.

    And you know how they do that? The find far left wing prosecutors and fund them so they can later catch a release these repeat violent felons on the the streets after getting arrest for violent crimes. Enter Soros and his network crime organization. He is funding radical judges and prosecutors all over our country. This is their answer to radical cops.

    Given their jobs, I understand the need for officers to be loyal to each other. I don’t think most of us realize how difficult their jobs are. Having said that, they owe it to the citizens they are there to serve to weed out those who they full well know are bad apples. Yet, most people don’t like to rat out a coworker. It’s a real problem.

    I’ve ratted out coworkers all the time in Fortune 500 companies. It’s pretty much institutionalized in 360 reviews and I don’t want slackers undermining my stellar performance or getting in the way of my advancement. The place I’m at now is crazy, 80k people left the co. last year and the number of employees grew.

    Solid post. While I know it's not the easiest job, their duty is to uphold the constitution and serve the public, not each other.

    For instance, I can't get behind an officer watching another officer punt a face down, handcuffed suspect in the face and then run interference when questioned about it. For every one of those instances, a citizen is getting their rights trampled. And when they want to fight back, the state throws their weight around to fight it and deny justice. Everyone wants to call the abusers the bad apples, but those that are complicit are as well. If 5 cops watch 1 cop rough up a guy and do nothing to intervene, and then fail to report it, that's a half-dozen bad apples right there. It fosters a culture where you can't weed out the bad apples. They put the Blue Code of Silence, I mean loyalty, over doing what's right at the expense of the public.

    I disagree, both the OP and CNN started by mentioning race in the first line of type.....This is not honestly about this particular case. It is about some peoples view of the police as a whole and as far as CNN is concerned about selling news. Stories about racist cops sell papers.

    When gangs in Chicago shoot each other or when an immigrant commits a crime, you never see these people have rational-minded takes like “Not all black/brown people commit crimes, these are anecdotal. Fox News/OAN/Newsmax focuses on these negative stories to sell news to their base.” They only save these rational, level-headed takes for when police are caught committing crimes LOL

    Comparing bad cops that kill people every year to the tens of thousands of thugs killing innocent people all over the country is a foolish analogy.

    Not more foolish than believing Soros funds judges and prosecutors.

    Not really ... the public is paying cops to be "the good guys", cops have extreme power over other citizens, and immunity from prosecution and civil cases in most instances, so there is an expectation there....

    Gotcha. All true.

    I was just trying to point out that this guy (assuming he's guilty here) is a criminal diguised as a cop, not a cop as such, and therefore his criminal actions oughtn't be imputed to the police, as he was fired per the investigation BY POLICE, and not prosecuted for lack of probable cause evidence.

    IOW, the police cut his ass loose swifty just on suspicion, no "blue wall" for this guy.

    Thanks, I understand, but some on the Left here will include him in the ranks of the cops.

    They also know that Soros is actually funding anarchy all across our country with his funding of these radical criminal judges and no one seems to care about it.

    I am trying to figure out how this cop that we painted a racist ever went 3 years without making an arrest.....must have been working all white neighborhoods.

    I'm trying to figure out how he got past any kind of performance review with 0 arrests in 3 years. I think he just didn't give a flip anymore about the LE process. Seems burned-out and bitter.

    He was probably too busy killing black and brown people and covering it up. I imagine it’s time consuming.
