Thom Hartmann: Are Pay To Play Cops in Your City?





Published on Apr 17, 2015

Sheriff Richard Mack, The Constitutional Sheriffs & Peace Officers Association (CSPOA), joins Thom Hartmann. New reports suggest that Robert Bates - the volunteer Tulsa - Oklahoma police officer who's been charged with manslaughter for killing an unarmed black man - may not have had the proper training to be in the field. Is this true of other "pay to play" cops all across the country?
