one time i confronted him about one of his officers who was a nakedly racist officer who didn’t give two shits about constitutional rights. i asked him why someone he would keep someone who would rather beat a false confession out of a black man than arrest the white man who had done the crime. he told me that if he didn’t protect all of his officers he couldn’t keep any of them. i got up, told him that if every officer on the force would leave if he allowed an incompetent racist piece of shit like that to receive discipline if not justice then what was the point of having a police force. then i walked off. a month later my dad told me that what i said to him must have struck a nerve because about three weeks after that party he resigned and retired. dad said his last act was to process the paperwork needed to terminate that officer i had talked to him about.

Thank you for using the power of your privilege for good!

Fear of lawsuit, however baseless it may be.

I’m only speaking from my UK perspective. Broadcast of identifiable faces prior or during legal action can impact the trial/civil case. Mostly through juries being “tainted” with prior uncontrolled information about the case specifics.

None of the good cops would have quit if a bad cop were to be fired. The chief was tacitly admitting there were few if any good cops in his department.

There are multiple states in which minimum cop training is less than required to be to service customers in a barbershop or beauty salon.

US Court Ruling: You Can Be "Too Smart" to Be a Cop - Global Research

The PTB actively exclude those who possess sufficient intellectual firepower to exercise critical thinking skills. It is in the design.

The New London PD is not the only department that does this.

Courts (including US Supremes IIRC) have ruled that while ignorance of the law is no excuse for non-cops, it is an excuse for cops and prosecutors and judges, and for the first two, might not even justify voiding a trial result when their is police or prosecutor misconduct.

I once had the enlightening experience of attending a New Year’s party populated almost exclusively by a bunch of drunken police officers all feeling free to be their authentic selves. That was back in the early seventies, and I remain appalled until this very day. I never saw so many out and out bigots and assh0les (can I say that here?) assembled together in one place in my entire life. (This was in Tucson.)

I’ve never looked at police in quite the same way again.
