innocent people.
Here is where we are headed I think.
We are living in an oligarchy. The 1% is turning us all into peons working for subsistence wages and the police are their enforcers.

What makes them think they're entitled to respect after the way they treat citizens whose only crime was being born with a skin color other than their own?

It's a travesty that police are allowed to unionize with impunity, in order to
then use that "union" as a platform to advocate for cops shooting black kids.

It's a very ugly spectacle in my book. Unions by their very nature are supposed
to stand for something positive, like economic justice or family wage jobs for
laborers. A far cry from standing for shooting black kids.

I am as pro union as you can get.

I have been a member of 2.

My union never protected criminals, abusers, or murderers.

I have never been a teacher.

What do you ask ?

This insistence of the police union that apologies and respect are due is bullshit.

Do teacher's union have access to the justice system and the District Attorney like police and police union reps. do ?

Do teacher's union protect teachers that murder their students ?

We also had a student sexually assault another at school here, a teacher help to try and cover it up and she is still working.

and they should be charged and prosecuted.

I don't think you can compare police unions to teachers unions because of the things I stated in my previous post.

the KKK is a "civic organization"

Is there some law that gives police a license to kill innocent people, that athletes are unaware of?

--imm

and Jordan Cameron

let's pretend that we were to grant that the killing of a boy when the only danger was from the cop's imagination and the cop's weapon was perfectly legal and justified.

even then, it's ridiculous to whine about public people such as athletes voicing an opinion over the matter.



what's pathetic is that the best argument the police can think of in defense of the cop amounts to stfu.

Our local sheriff stood up in a budget hearing and said he was under no obligation to protect any citizen, and that his only job was to enforce laws. Several court decisions in other counties have reinforced this statement. So they don't have to protect anybody.

And if you talk to one of the arrogant bastards you'll soon discover that they don't believe they "serve" anybody either. They actually believe it's their job to keep the rabble from making life uncomfortable for the well to do.

Unfortunately, you can't force people to respect you, that respect has to be earned. What they need to do is get their asses out of those fortresses they drive around in and get out and mingle with the people they are supposed to be working for. Get to know the citizens and let the citizens get to know them. Learn something about the community.

They might be a bit more humble if they knew what the 1% actually thinks about them. If they could hire the Russian mafia to protect them at half of what the cops are paid they'd do it in a heartbeat.

I predicted he would be sacked 3 times and throw 2 interceptions and I was right. The guy sucks and I am pissed that the Browns organization took a crap on Hoyer who has been carrying this team's offense all season. He is just an average quarterback but if he was on a team like the Eagles he would fricking look like Joe Montana. So we took a struggling offense with no running game, took out Hoyer who is just an average quarterback and put in some snot nosed rich kid who took a beating. There goes the playoffs, ugh I am so mad right now.

Touch shit. Collective guilt and a pinch of projection and it comes from the PD. Do cops know the law? Some sure don't.

Especially if they hired that cop knowing he was fired from another dept for being unfit to serve.

There's no such thing as a good cop.

I've met good cops. Yes, they're getting harder to find. Yes, they seem to be vastly outnumbered by assholes. But I don't accept that they're all evil, sorry.

So-called "good cops" pretend to be good, but they still cover up for their colleagues who commit murder.

Who needs a bigger illustration than this? The police clearly have no sense of the problem they themselves have created.

"Justice for Tamir Rice And John Crawford III" or for that matter Justice for [anyone? Except, of course, those committing injustices against those so named? It's a devious trap designed to elicit responses from exactly those who are guilty (or supporters of the guilty).
