First up, they show little or no respect for people of color. Then, they disrespect the mayor who is their boss. Now, who wants to say cops are getting a bad break.

Let their sorry asses wake up and smell the roses. They may find themselves in a situation where they will lose money.
The cops are supposed to be PUBLIC SERVANTS. To protect and serve the citizens of their city.

What f*ckin' part of that they don't understand is beyond me. Maybe someone should sit them all down and explain it to them.
