In reply to the discussion: If the NYPD Want to Play That Game [View all]Tsiyu
(18,186 posts)38. LA is no safe zone either
there is brutality in every state.
It really troubles me, too, though, the level of contempt some cops have.
I am worried about a local cop who claimed he thought DiBlasio should be shot. is this goon cop gonna shoot the county mayor if he does something the cop doesn't like?
By saying he thinks DiBlasio should be shot, he is outright claiming he would kill a government figure. Because he didn't like his words. And the amazing thing is, this cop's beat has NO black people around. So why this reaction? I would ask the guy, but dayum, I might get shot.
We live in very frightening times when cops can blatantly salivate over killing our duly elected government officials.

Yes, low taxes, especially on the rich/corporations, are part of the problem.
