"Don't put that over the air."

Says it all, doesn't it?

These sentiments bubble under the surface. We know it, they know it. But they are too chickenshit to acknowledge it and work on it/clean house

that audio needs to be on every news outlet, it has to be a NYT headline on newsstands, everything.

You'd think the cops would be on their best behavior during this time to disprove the notion of their critics that they are little more than an officially sanctioned gang. But they have done everything they could this past week to prove to the world they are exactly who their critics said they are.

Is it just sheer arrogance or incompetence?

I like how the "nicest" guy on that radio was saying "don't put that over the air" instead of "hey dude, that's fucking wrong"... love their priorities. These clowns really are showing their asses.

Acab

NYPD and LAPD especially compose some of the worst people in this country so of course we gave them deadly weapons and complete immunity

What type of requirements? The community policing/full abolition people are nutcases.

i've typically heard for strict requirements to even be considered, so higher degrees of education. significantly longer periods of training that involve more constant and robust psych evals, etc. stuff like that that weeds out people who barely graduated highschool with a hard-on for being an authority figure who can kill indiscriminately

Again... it's a nice a idea, but those types of people generally don't want to be cops. It'll always be a dangerous job with terrible hours. People with higher degrees can make more money doing almost anything else -- with a better lifestyle.

If we were to also go down the community route then those that volunteer would be required to live in neighborhoods they patrol. Nobody wants to kill their neighbor, and you're damn sure no neighborhood is gonna condone violence against its members.

Maybe we should restructure the economic model if it means people who have the education and attitudes to help provide protection to society wouldn't want the job. Also, being a cop has been steadily less "dangerous" as time has went on. It's purely copaganda that police are in danger 24/7. You should go down to a protest and see how much danger their lives are in when you're standing in a crowd with shotguns being pointed at you.

I would do anything for this to be reported seriously on TV, in papers, and so on. I want to know if it's legit/real, and I want the officer that said it to have to answer for it, and for the Commissioner/mayor/governor to have to speak about it.

reform it that way and see what happens. there are already higher requirements for federal law enforcement agencies and people head there, sweeten the deal for local law enforcement with slightly higher pay than what they are now if the administrators know they're getting a higher quality of people. just because "it sounds nice", doesn't mean it can't work. at the bare minimum, there needs to be significantly improved training and psych stuff involved to see who wants to uphold the law justly vs. the pieces of shit.

Good thing the good cop was there to put the bad cop in his place. What was he thinking, saying the quiet part out loud??

The same can be said about teachers (minus the violence, usually) and yet there's plenty of them because people often take shit jobs because they like actually making a difference.
