If he believes what he said then he's delusional.

Beyond that, he's tone deaf beyond salvation and this alone is reason to find other work.

Pretty sick shit.

by the constitution (which your fellow piggies) know nothing about.

this Roorda guy is a whiny jerk.

Republican / authoritarian feigned outrage. Professional victims.

So we can demand they be smarter and more self-aware. This kind of bullshit is inevitable when we treat police officer positions like janitors.

118,000. Exactly how much pay do you think it takes to get some brains behind the badge? These are base numbers and they get really great benefits as well. Platinum. Is this similar to how janitors are paid in your area?
My town cops start at 38K with 90% of the force getting 75K. This is before benefits. Janitors around here tend to get minimum wage, $9.10 an hour but let's assume 11 an hour. That comes to 21,120 a year for full time janitorial work.
The pay is not the problem.

Then the problem is simply quality in hiring and training.

and still have family and friends who live in the Hood. They have been pulled over for driving while being black and a young male. Say what you will, no amount of invalidating their own personal experience will lessen or erase their own personal experience.

the only other thing I'd like to say is that people better wake up and start voting.

ANY criticism and they curl up into a fetal position in the middle of the floor.

- On January 16, 2014, Roorda sponsored a bill that, if passed, will allow the government to close "any records and documents pertaining to police shootings if they contain the name of any officer who did the shooting, unless the officer who did the shooting has been charged with a crime as a result of the shooting, in which case such records or documents shall not be closed."

Yeah, I know: the source. It is a good article.

As often happens when idiots have knee jerk reactions, they clearly didn't listen to the lyrics where he humanized the police "you're kneeling over his body in the vestibule... praying for his life." and "We're babtized in these waters and in each others blood."

I want to believe that it affects them and they feel remorse, then we meet Darren Wilson who just doesn't seem to even acknowledge the gravity of his role in killing Michael Brown.

Mustn't hurt their widdle feelings.

some introspection by the SLPOA membership is in order. What bothered them, that no LEO were able to shoot Rams because they feared for their lives? Perhaps instead they should look at these HIGHLY PAID, VERY SUCCESSFUL AFRICAN-AMERICANS as people rather than former/future targets.


Yeah, I'm pissed off at SLPOA's tone deaf response.
