But when there are clear problems with a particular cop, maybe excessive violence, etc, too many of the "good
cops" look the other way. It's like the military. Your brother soldier is more important than the "Enemy"
even when the enemy is the same people you are sworn to serve. The "Blue Line" is a real thing. And by
protecting the bad cops, it stains the entire force. The cop in Minnesota had 16 complaints against him
including 2 other shootings, one fatal. Another had 12.... Where do you draw the line?
Completely agree Mad.
You added detail to my over simplification when I said
Deal with the problems which is a challenge in itself
Strong leadership, reform and change is required.
The public need to see this to regain full confidence in their law enforcement agencies.
But defunding and dismantling a system that has stood fast throughout time without a viable option of replacement is insane.
Just because something is hard, doesn't mean you automatically turn to the easiest option.
And where does this all end because if you happen to subscribe to the police being defunded and or dismantled, by the same rational you must also do the same for any domestic intelligence agencies such as the FBI and CIA, all levels of national government, and all global organisations like the United Nations because all have inept and corrupt people within them who have been directly responsible for innocent lives lost due to their inappropriate actions.
Plus how many good cops are killed in the line of duty every year since the police force's inception?
Who stands for them and their rights?
Where are the ongoing protests for these hero's?
Why do the rights of criminals who put themselves in harms way trump the brave that are sworn to protect us?
Sometimes I truly believe this world is heading in exactly the wrong direction...
