Wait, the feds can DO that?! This whole time this was a possibility? I don't see allegations of cross-state crimes there, just hate speech and hate crimes. So y'know, average copping. And this is the first time I've heard about the FBI actually holding state cops to account? wtf...
Mississippi Burning, although largely viewed as patriarchal now because it leaves out lots of the black Americans that repeatedly pushed and pushed and pushed and were beaten, burned, lynched, and cancelled for equal civil rights, was about the FBI busting dirty southern cops and judges.
They weren't arrested for the texts being racist or anti gay. They were arrested for admitting to beating up black and gay people then destroying evidence in the texts. Shit headline but it's the right thing to do.
All Cops Are Bastards
Got 10000 good guys and 1000 bad guys? You have 11000 bad guys.
Until all the toxic fuckers are gone, this will be the mantra.
Good cops get fired. Do you know what happens when an abusive cop's partner tries to prevent an instance of brutality or racism?
I'm almost certain I'm not as bad as a cop who bragged about beating innocent black people.
All. 100%. What good person would join a group designed to oppress labor in favor of the owning class?
Let's be real. Cops don't stop crime. Adding cops to an area doesn't reduce the crime rate. They also don't solve many crimes. So why would anyone be a cop? So they could exercise power over others. That isn't good, is it.
Now do the ones that raided the newspaper.
Good. This is what true 'Law and Order' is. More of this law and order in action. Go get some more!
Yep. Make "police officer" a distinctly unappealing career path for idiotic bigots. They should be nowhere near any kind of power over other people.
Just add 4 years of training like the highly skilled profession it's supposed to be, and the lowlifes will be washed away.
If this were truly an arrestable offense we would save a lot on police salaries.
They weren't arrested for the texts being racist or anti gay. They were arrested for admitting to beating up black and gay people then destroying evidence in the texts. Shit headline but it's the right thing to do.
This was in my hometown and I'm not surprised they got exposed for this, APD has always been shit.
A good start. Let's keep it going.
