Showing Original Post only (View all)Ferguson cop has a sad, says Eric Holder made him cry. [View all]
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2983022/I-broke-tears-read-Michael-Brown-report-good-cops-Ferguson-officer-speaks-devastating-probe-branded-department-racist.htmlA serving Ferguson police officer revealed that he broke down in tears after he read the Department of Justice report which condemned his force and said: I just close my eyes and wish it wasnt like that.
The officer said that his colleagues were good cops and that they were hurting just like the rest of the community.
In an exclusive interview with Daily Mail Online he said they were all standing behind embattled Ferguson police chief Tom Jackson but were fearful they would lose their jobs if the department was shut down.

More tearful agonizing.
Speaking to Daily Mail Online, the Ferguson police officer said the report misrepresented not just the force, but the city.
'The report is hard to read, but thats not me,' he said.
I am good with the people, the community. We have good officers. Do they write more tickets than some people? Maybe. But they are good officers.
This hurts, it really does. When you read it, you read it as a city as a whole. You read it like everybody is like that, but not everybody is like that.
