I Hate Corrupt Police

We don’t need to keep hearing the “there are good police officers .” Reteric I assure you that we know there are decent men who wear badges .

But if they are quiet or complicit during the actions of their partners /peers will that not be more visible than any prior kind act ?

It can get complex don't you think. Corruption can be subtle and slowly take over people. It can be a hard thing to fight as a single person. There are "good" people that get carried away by the culture. For fear of losing their job they go along with it. But the stakes are different depending on the level and severity of corruption. Thoughts?

If you are cooperative in an unjustified killing or
Brutal use of
Force your fear of your job means nothing to me , you still have a life and can start over that person cannot .

Not to say killing is the only sign of corruption but that’s an example of when none of that is a good excuse .@dark548]

@dark548 There are Mayors and City Councils that should be investigating and monitoring their police forces and are not doing their job i.e. Baltimore, Chicago, and Oakland which needed federal investigation before changing their standards to follow federal compliance levels.

@AfroDOS yeah I agree at that level cooperation is not acceptable or easily forgivable.

@Pfuzylogic if there are rules and procedures that they should be following and they chose not to then yeah thats messed up. Especially if these rules and procedures make sense and have a reasonable purpose.

@dark548 The Justice department of DC shouldn't have to do the Mayor's and City Coucil's job.

@Pfuzylogic unprofessionalism and unaccountability in the workplace.

Pfuzylogic · M

@dark548 I would agree with both of them. The police departments are lazy because no one is holding their feet to the fire.

@Pfuzylogic when it comes to life and death situations the stakes are very high!

Pfuzylogic · M

@dark548 The sad thing is that many LEA profile suspects because it is easy.

@Pfuzylogic there must deep klan influence in the justice system because it just makes no sense many times

Pfuzylogic · M

@dark548 I would say White Nationalists maybe klan depending on where you live.

dark548 · M

@Pfuzylogic that's gotta be it. The level of justice system negligence as you have been saying it just would not make sense as I see it

Pfuzylogic · M

@dark548 There is a lot of profiling. The first indication of shoddy professionalism.
