Fucking Cops: Volume II

[Minimalist]

Another hero cop....and of course the brass backs up the abuser!

Bronx sergeant accused of ceaseless sexual harassment that led to female officer's resignation, in shocking $54M suit

While other supervisors knew about the alleged harassment, they did nothing to help Burns, now 28, the suit claims. Burns endured retaliation for complaining about the advances, including a potentially dangerous assignment — being posted on the highway without a partner,

You can't have a position where people are given tasers, handcuffs, batons, pepper spray, and guns, and think you won't attract sociopaths to that job. It's delusional to think it won't happen. What's worse, police unions protect the worst abusers, and have most DA's, judges, and politicians in their back pockets, making it nearly impossible to hold them accountable for any abuse. Then you've got conservatives insisting that there be no police accountability - otherwise we are 'hamstringing' them. So assholes, maniacs, fruitcakes, racists, sex predators, and sociopaths are now attracted to police work; since they know they can commit crimes under the banner of being a police officer, and there will be zero consequences should they be caught red handed in the act of a crime and/or abuse.

That's the real problem.

That's exactly right!  They are supposed to weed out the crazies, they don't seem to do that great a job getting rid of the sociopaths. The cop in the story I linked was fired for NOT shooting a black man.

Whoa, EIGHT already? Just an avalanche of death. 8/300,000,000th.

[Manowar]

You are being naive, to think the few examples here are the only ones. It's only a fraction of what happens.

Yeah, only 40% of police families have some sort of family violence, it's no sign of an underlying problem. Police culture is pure and perfect!

Seriously, you guys can't rise above strawmanning? You're not making this very interesting.

That is hard to prove. I was suggesting that it is not realistic to think this forum shows all of the abuse, it is logical to think that only a fraction of them we will know about. read this interview with Radlky Balko an ex-cop who wrote a book on the subject.

Sounds like the classic conspiracy theory. "Yeah, THEY are covering it all up!" Sorry, I won't be silenced, I have a right to my opinion on this, and as I'm (the only one apparently) sticking to hard facts I quite good to go with it.

What about the brass who support the abuser?  Don't they count as "bad cops," too?
  Or do you give them a pass because they didn't whip out their own dicks?


You're very forgiving of these fuckers.  Too forgiving.

Meanwhile, here's an interesting study.... or it would be if black cops weren't as ready to start shooting as white cops.

White and Black Police Officers Are Sharply Divided About Race, Pew Finds

“When black officers take off their uniforms and badges, they’re no longer police,” he said. “They’re black men and black women, and they’re subject to the same kind of indignities, injustices and outright discrimination that other black Americans report.”
The survey found that African-American police officers were more critical of police relationships with blacks than officers of other races. While 60 percent of white and Hispanic officers said that police relations with blacks were either excellent or good, only 32 percent of black officers agreed.
At the same time, a significant majority of black officers believe that protests following officer-involved killing of black citizens were at least in part motivated by a desire to hold the police accountable; only 27 percent of their white colleagues agreed.

Huge conspiracy time!
