In the Line of Duty

[dahrling]

You continue to miss the point. The North Charleston, SC case was already well on its way to being swept under the rug when the video emerged. Without the video, nothing would have happened. Again, nobody is claiming that all cops are bad. 

Pyrrho said, and I quote, "If cops are murderous thugs, you better kill them before they kill you."


If that doesn't constitute an implication that all members of the police department are "bad", then what does?

The problem is the pervasive lack of accountability for the bad cops. What's preventing the good cops from banding together and having their FOPs become vocal about weeding out bad cops and holding those that act poorly accountable? Ah, but that would violate the precious thin blue line fraternity, meaning that is more important than actual justice.

The matter at hand is not whether "good cops" and "bad cops" exist, or even if the latter should be held accountable for their actions.
This thread is dedicated to, and I quote, "those police officers who have given their lives in the line of duty protecting the communities they serve."
