Dec 2014

One officer acted to stop the choking of a man already in handcuffs. She was struck by the cop who was choking the accused. He hit her so hard that it broke her upper bridge. The department did conduct an "investigation" and concluded that she acted inappropriately. She grabbed another cop from behind. The cop who was abusing the accused had done it before, and did it twice more before he was allowed to retire. Thus getting his benefits. She on the other hand was fired. So tell me how you think that Buffalo has good cops when the department fired the one who was acting to protect someone from being attacked using potentially lethal force?

So what evidence do you have that any cops in Buffalo are good ones? The department closed ranks to protect the abusive cop, while firing the one who tried to do the right thing. So where exactly would these good cops be?

you REALLY want to use NYPD as a shining example of good cops? frylock Dec 2014 #40
