22. I kinda laughed when I saw how "hefty" that one "bike cop" was.

Not to fat shame, but come on. So many overweight cops?

Steroids perhaps, or just plain doughnut eating idiots.

I've taken the side of cops on this forum. I know cops...dated a few lol.

But this Baltimore situation is so obviously wrong on every level. I find it very upsetting.

I can only hope justice will prevail. But that won't bring Mr. Gray back.

In my hometown, we have a cop coming up on charges for the killing of an unarmed black man. The trial starts in July. The police chief ( a black man) immediately threw the idiot off the force. I wonder what will happen. My sweetheart at the time (white female police officer) and I disagreed on this. Needless to say, we are not together anymore lol.

Police violence is out of control. When the killers of Eric Garner got off, I pretty much gave up.

Something has to change. But will it?
