1. Are these vandals the 'good cops' or the 'bad apples'?

And if they are the bad apples, why aren't the good cops stopping them?

Vandalism is a crime.

I guess the only reason cops have for arresting criminals these days is because they don't want the competition...

[Bettie]

9. "Good Cops"...well, until they actually start working to

make changes within police workplace culture, they're not "good". They are complicit.

Those "bad apples" get a pass because the "good" ones don't really care, they look the other way.

[Hoyt]

2. If true, seems like an easy way to weed out some obviously bad ones.

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

3. She yaps respect

And calls him an asshole

Such a nice respectful gal.

[Nexus2]

4. Who? [nt]

[FreeState]

6. What? Why should she

Show them respect - they are public servants not gods.

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

8. He never called her names

Rattled off his badge number.

File a complaint.

[FreeState]

13. And?

There is nothing wrong with calling people names - it’s not against the law. I’m sure their feelings were not hurt.

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

14. Again, as she yaps about respect

Looks like he was doing something he was directed to do?

As my grandma used to say "mind your business"

[Chautauquas]

21. Oh it's ok then

as long as he was doing something he was directed to do.

She was right to call him an asshole.

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

22. Again she was blabbing about respect

Hard to take her concerns seriously after that.

[Chautauquas]

23. Again

She was right to call him an asshole, since he was being an asshole.

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

24. She asked for badge number he gave it

He never called her anything geez right is right.

[Chautauquas]

27. Well, as long as was doing something he was directed to do and gave his badge number

then it's ok for him to be an asshole. Geez.

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

28. Just saying she's a hypocrite

Simple

[panader0]

34. Seems like your head is exploding.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

26. She gave him plenty of opportunity not to be an asshole.

He decided to be an asshole and got called one.

Seems fair.

[Celerity]

31. gal? really? smdh

this board sometimes




every day I feel more alienated here



perhaps I need to put myself on a long time-out

[USALiberal]

35. LOL, ok, Nice try! nt

[Faux pas]

5. Kickin' with disgust!

[WhiskeyGrinder]

10. This is KKK-level bullshit

Not only are they gunning people down, the families and survivors aren't allowed to grieve or mourn publicly. That's how you can tell whether the victim's life mattered in his or her community.

[StarfishSaver]

11. And yet people here are arguing that a system that produces and protects cops with this kind of hate

couldn't possibly produce cops who are more likely to abuse, harass, and shoot people they encounter based on their race.

[Politicub]

20. There are people on this thread criticizing the person filming.

And giving the cop a pass for following orders.

I’m sick of the boot-licking. Especially on DU.

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

29. We all are entitled to our opinion

No matter how much you dislike it.

[Politicub]

30. Sometimes opinions are toxic. And at other times, they're tone deaf.

Policing is broken. That’s not an opinion. The cop was desecrating a memorial. That’s not an opinion, either.

[The Magistrate]

32. But Not To Any Respect For It, Sir

"Some would sooner die than think, and many do."

[USALiberal]

36. Not really! nt

[Brother Buzz]

12. Um, that's Bakersfield

Kevin McCarthy's home turf

[SoCalDavidS]

16. Central Valley Of CA Is A Wasteland Filled With Morons & Seditionists

Also the home of Devin Nunes' Cow

[Brother Buzz]

17. Don't I know it, but Devin Nunes' Cow was shipped of to the Nunes dairy in Iowa

And coincidentally, the Nunes Iowa dairy sits squarely in Steve King's district.

[kimbutgar]

19. There are so many brain damaged people there due to all chemicals in the air from agriculture

And oil drilling waste.

I stayed overnight there about 5 years ago and the check cal smell In the air was so overwhelming. We got up early the next morning left that wasteland behind.

[bluestarone]

15. Hope to see some kind of punishment for these police

Waiting for further developments. IF true something has to be done!

[Bayard]

18. Just doing their civic duty

Cleaning up trash.


I've been to Bakersville. I didn't like it.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

25. Pigs being pigs.

[FlyingPiggy]

33. Wow. If there was ever a time to investigate LE, it is now.

The DOJ needs to be on this. We need to root out systemic racism yesterday.
