(505 posts)For every public servant. Every department in the nation has bad cops. Until these bad cops are put in cuffs by coworkers when they witness abuses of power then they are all bad! I dont even feel comfortable with patrol officers having firearms anymore. Every day the divide and hatred grows between those in power and the People.

This is a discussion of why ending qualified immunity at the state level has been such a struggle--old article, no paywall: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/qualified-immunity-police-lobbying-state-legislatures/2021/10/06/60e546bc-0cdf-11ec-aea1-42a8138f132a_story.html
Congress needed to act on this one, too. Now nothing will be done until we get rid of the Republican majority.

(9,042 posts)He may have been disgusted, but he simply got in his car and drove away. He didnt intervene. He didnt attempt to help the victim or correct the offending officers. The video doesnt even note whether he reported the incident. The best that can be said about the good officer, is that he declined to get his licks in.
