Police officer tells Proud Boys how to avoid making it look like the police are playing favorites

In the video documenting an encounter between a Salem police officer and the group gathered at Glamour Salon, the officer is seen asking the armed group to get off the sidewalks before police start enforcing the curfew.

"We really appreciate the attitude you have all had," the officer said. "We just ask you for a favor."

He said they needed to leave the sidewalk but could be inside a business or inside their vehicles.

He told them they couldn't be seen on the sidewalk so "it doesn't look like we are playing favorites."

Shocked I tell ya.

I was married to a LEO for a little over 2 years and was around them on their time off a bunch. 95% of them are crooked, lying gangbangers.
Just look at what happened to Mr. Floyd. 4 cops killed him and then lied on the report. The dept., did nothing and won't release the body camera footage. If that footage had showed any fault of the victim, they would have been released that day. The DA, a part of the gang were also in on it. Anyway, looks like 100% of those involved are lying SOBs.
