Also remind them that the “bad apple” adage originally finished with noting that they spoiled the rest of the barrel.

Swung Through Panda

sad but true

It’s not about proof for wypipo. It’s the fact that white mentality in general views police in a bubble - a few bad apple cops are to be expected due to the type of mentality law enforcement attracts but the overall effect of having someone to save your ass when the shit hits the fan is worth it. It doesn’t take…

Truth. On both counts.

“anyone running away from the scene is a suspect and should be detained.”

“If you move I’ll blow your fucking head off.”

And yeah again, that Cop trying to do the blood draw who arrested the nurse? They told him the law had changed (2007 I think) and he said he didn’t care and would do what his supervisor told him to. Nazis used to “just follow orders” too.

You are also correct in that many cops have other cops in the family.

Needs an “/s” after your comment.

I’m starting to wonder if they breed them like that.

The only unions I’m ok with getting busted are the police unions. Once their toxic presence is removed, it’ll be tons easier to reform police departments and clean house.

I have no idea what you are rambling about. Read my posts. I don’t believe any of them. I openly have said (as a current cop) that cops lie. Would I take what they say at face value? Nope. Same for Bennett. And it doesn’t matter what I believe, it’s what we can prove happened.

I just lost it at her poor 4 yr old daughter telling her to stop crying and yelling because she didn’t want her to get shot too. That gutless fucking coward officer couldn’t even tell her he made a mistake and was sorry. What the fuck are they even protecting anymore. Not communities, fellow humans or the rule of law.

Michael Bennett is one of the realest athletes in sports. I appreciate him putting this out there and shedding more light on the exact things Kap is protesting about.

Look, the video clearly shows Bennett’s not even trying to look white. What do you expect the officer to do? Treat him like a real human being despite years of training?

I’ve seen a lot of police shooting video but the one I always remember is the gas station video from NC where the dude manages to keep his hands in air and still call the fucker cop sir after getting shot in the hip for no reason.

Diamond Reynolds called Officer Yanez sir multiple times after he murdered Philando.

Cop here. I’ll chime in. The video itself isn’t helpful, other than proving that Bennett was detained and handcuffed. Unfortunately, we don’t have the video of what lead up to it. We could see if the officer was a complete asshole (certainly possible) or if Bennett is lying (also possible). I don’t know any of the…

I thought coal miners were the most important workers in America.
