Yes, if black officers are doing this from fear of how they too will be treated by their fellow officers says it all. They fear their back will not be taken in a critical situation. That says it all right there.

That makes it a done deal for me. They are ugly bullies that have no respect for authority, the law or people in general. They can't even give their fallen comrades the respect that they deserve at there funerals. Yet, Raphael Ramos and Wenjian Liu were not white either.

My heart breaks with this despicable act. Shame on them all.

Tears Cha.
