in persuading many others to join them, so unless this is a coup the police are planning, this won't be more than useful illustration of their opinions (which may go further as reason to remove them from the force).

Most don't live in the city they serve.

it won't stop them from trying, however, as they don't appear to have a strong grasp on how any of our democratic systems work.

some restraint and not have to solve the issue by pulling a gun. If this 21 year veteran can't handle crowd control without pulling his gun, I'd say it's time to retire.

If someone throws a brick at you, a strong argument could be made that that meets the deadly force triangle (opportunity, capability and intent). Not saying deadly force should be used (and neither is the alleged cop), but its not like in the instance that this guy is saying the other party is acting inngood faith.

they are all shitstains on society's ass. All cops become cops because of an anti-social us vs them I hate certain segments of society attitude. That couple with arrogance, rhoid rage and power hungry, makes them a detriment to our cities!

the "bad cops" INSTEAD OF FUCKING COVERING FOR THEM they are ALL "bad cops".

Remember what happened to him?

it's significantly more than that, and until the politicians and the mythical "good kops" gather the will to do something about them, situations like Baltimore will continue to deteriorate.

assume they're all tainted, foul, rotten, etc.

Yet that almost never happens. Instead, other cops cover for the "bad" ones.

If you are allowing other cops to be "bad", then you are not a "good" cop.

He still gets threats.


Also, if you listen to This American Life, there was a cop who recorded cop abuse and disseminated it. His life is also threatened.

It would be a monumental task. First we have to acknowledge there is a problem.

... You will be treated like one...

did this. Other atrocities, yes, but not this.

These fuckers belong in jail for conspiracy to overthrow the city government.

Oh, and Fuck the KKKops.

What a hyperbolic load...

they belong in jail. Period.

I'm talking about this steaming pile...

Savage violence, with next to no provocation, targeted by race...

That's some Gestapo shit. About the only thing the Baltimore PD hasn't done yet is build concentration camps.

Go find a survivor right now and apologize...

Usually lawyers run depositions though. If they have grounds they could do it.

OK, you're now in fantasyland. The Gestapo was directly responsible for the murders of several million people. In about 12 years.

There are major to severe culture problems in a lot of police departments in the country. I've defended clients against some really awful cops. However, there are also many decent men and women working as police officers. It's a damn tough job and regardless of your sense of morality, justice or honor, you get exposed to a tremendous amount of the garbage of society. You spend much of your time dealing with the wreckage left by people doing really bad things to other people, and it does change the way you view your world.

There is a boundary between slightly tainted because the job does that to you and corrupt and callous. It may not seem like much, but it's there, and it's a very important distinction.

'nuff said.

However 50 officers is not enough to start a recall in a city of 650,000 residents. They will to sit it and shut it.

shoot to kill for the past 21 years? You have no idea what it feels like to be the victim of such a disproportionate response.

Is there any actual evidence this is a thing?

I'll wait to see if there is more to this than one lone idiot who lacks the courage to fully identify himself who may or may not be a cop, who may or may not actually be speaking for anybody other than himself.

you are sworn to protect as meat, you are no longer the shepherd. You are the wolf.

Yo rocket man listen up. This is America, if you don't like your job QUIT. Shut your pie hole and quit.
We make the rules and you work for us.

Let's weigh this poor policeman's outrage against the actions of unruly citizenry in Baltimore versus the millions who have been unjustly harrassed at the hands of him and his gun- / taser- / billy club-toting henchmen.

Somehow I doubt that "Jeff" will get the point.

She's a tough cookie.

would be for the mayor to fire them.
