(62,325 posts)no one told me I was a mindless sheep. I know good cops, but to deny that what has happened to our Police Force in the face of all the evidence, some of it provided by former police chiefs themselves, is simply not logical.
The militarization of the police in this country has received world wide attention. Do you want to wait until there are no good cops, or until the good cops cannot do their jobs, because the good ones I know feel they are at that point already. If you want to help the good cops, then stop trying to silence people who are trying to do that, by going after the bad cops, which is what the good cops want us to do. They need the support badly, or are your really not aware of that?
Have you followed the story of the good cop in the NYPD who tried to expose the bad cops and what was done to him, because he did not have the help he needed? Check out the name 'Adrian Schoolcraft' to see what happens when a good cop sees so much corruption, documents it because he cannot watch it without doing something about it, only to find himself kidnapped by his own PD and thrown into a mental ward and held for six days. Don't you think, now that he has been vindicated, he might have liked to have had some support from the public when he tried to do what was right?
By attempting to silence people about the bad cops, it is helping them to keep the good cops from doing their duty, and that story is perfect example of why people must speak out and support the good cops who, understandably are afraid to speak out many times.
