OMFG! Hell just froze over in Florida

[99th_Monkey]

I've been saying now for months, that "I'll believe there are GOOD cops when they start turning in the BAD cops". I can't say that I have EVER heard of this actually happening, until today, and it happened in FLORIDA of all places. Who'da Thunk?

That cop will hopefully do some time. It's a start.

4. You know what they say

It just takes nearly all bad cops to ruin the reputation of the 1 or 2 good cops still out there (in theory).

5. It's good that they're holding him accountable...

but the strict laws for drugs are just beyond my comprehension. People have committed murder and served less time than this guy probably will. What about all those cops who killed innocent people and are back/still on the force? Those are the real criminals.

6. I agree. But I also agree that it's just "a good start"

Not exactly a reason to start dancing in the streets, but still worth noting and
maybe other good cops will follow their good example. hope. hope.

7. since the police union's purpose it to protect criminal cops maybe the honest ones could start a

new police union for only honest cops, where criminal cops cannot join. if there are enough honest ones that is

8. Great Idea, but that is a BIG "IF"

I totally appreciate you bringing up the police unions, because that is one of the most egregious aspects of the US police-state thuggery that rampant and getting worse by the hour. It's a tragic irony that police "unions" are nothing other than a "front" for the criminal element embedded in the police departments. They are a deadly cancer eating away at everything we hold dear about our country.

And to add insult to injury, they get to use the word "union" to hide behind, to serve as their fig leaf, while the bad cops literally get away with murder, on a daily basis anymore.
