jesus christ!

How disgusting! Absolutely disgusting.

I actually thought about something this morning and posted just a little while ago, that maybe we can come up with a way to encourage good officers to step forward. To help them take that incredibly brave step.

I am one of the people that has repeatedly used the hash tag #FTP. I have not been shy in condemning them. And while I truly believe that there are more bad than good anymore, I know that there are good people in police uniforms.

However, police officers that have come forward have lost their jobs, been harassed beyond belief. Even put in mental health facilities. So if we can encourage them to do the right thing, somehow ensure their safety, maybe more would step forward

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
