If a good cop watches a bad cop breaking the law or brutalizing someone and does not stop him then that is not a good cop. Using that standard you will quickly start running out of good cops. Search the internet there are hundreds of videos of cops just standing there watching another cop beat people. Even in the rare occasion where video forces the precinct to charge or suspended the violent cop the bystanders are unpunished. The George Floyd case is the only one I can think of where they were.
- SkipperCat 4y agoIf a cop stood idly by and watched another cop brutalize someone, I would not call that person a good cop. Fire them. I'd fire a doctor who sat by and did nothing while a patient go into cardiac arrest. I'd fire a fireman who sat by and watched a house burn down without attempting to put it out. I'm fine with firing the lot of them. I'd honestly rather see mass firing than pension raids because when it comes down to it, we need those people to stop being cops. Hopefully that would increase recruiting and give people with better values into the system. Right now it feels like policing is family generational business.
