They'll murder you in cold blood, and get away with it. They'll move to another county and get a raise.
They'll steal your possessions and drain your bank account, and get away with it.
They'll share your nude photos and get away with it.
Thin blue line or whatever though.
- FireBeyond 2y agoWouldn't it be awesome if there was like a national registry of police who had been terminated or resigned to avoid termination that police departments could use as a part of the hiring process? Good news: there is! Bad news: a large swathe (in the majority, actually) of Police Department Collective Bargaining Agreements forbid the use of this registry in making hiring decisions...
- AdrianB1 2y agoFrom my European perspective: here it is illegal to hire someone that is in such a registry, so agreements cannot change what the law say. If you have a registry that is optional, why even bother?
- AdrianB1 2y agoI guestimate that 90% of the cops are good or just fine, but the minority that do bad things are creating a bad image for all. My guestimate is that the mayors in the cities with these cops are as guilty as the bad cops for keeping and protecting them. Same for the sheriffs.
