so the police officers said stuff--but blacks are MURDERING whites
There's nothing wrong with a Zero Tolerance policy about racist remarks from Officers on duty.. SHOULDN"T be an "Internal Review"... Should be public...
Any small pattern of this happening should be grounds for dismissal... Union or no union...
Totally disagree. Nothing good comes from a public release of a couple of Racist Cops talking shit. Except of course for the career of Mr. Williams.
You know LOTS of people deny racism exists in the U.S. Although as we can see, even when they are shown examples of blatent racism, they still deny that it exists.
Do you know how frustrating it is to know that someone is a racist and engaging in discriminatory and prohibited behavior yet only to be told that you can't prove it? Well this is proof and if indeed they review the cases that these officers worked on and find that it's possible that their work was guided by racial animosity or discrimination, then perhaps those individuals deserve new trials.
If you can't trust a police officer to tell the truth, it taints everything he does in his job including testifying in court.
Record some guys talking shit and fire them for what they said without a trial. That sounds like mob justice.
You do NOT NEED a trial.. This is a "terms of employment" issue.. There are about 12 Million citizens with security clearances that are subject to SEVERE restrictions on their personal ethics and behavior that can LOSE those clearances (and subsequently their jobs) if they are NOT HONEST with their Security Officers.. WITHOUT TRIAL... No diff here in a public trust job that allows lethal force as an option,.. In FACT -- it MIGHT be more important...
That seems to be how this New World Order rolls. If you say the wrong thing in a PRIVATE CONVERSATION just talking shit or venting.....doesn't matter. You're done. You don't even get to make a statement in your defense. Career over, tossed to the curb. That seems to make you happy. It doesn't make me happy.
Police reform is coming and that's a good thing. I would like to see specific language on severely limiting random stops, something I haven't seen in the legislation. I don't like seeing anyone destroyed because of a random statement made in private no matter how stupid or "Racist" it sounds. Besides that, we are creating an environment where virtually no one will want to be a police officer. I'm thankful my sons didn't go that route.
1.but police brutality is not a problem---ESPECIALLY considering the other MAJOR problems that dwarf it
2. they make out whites to be EVIL and blacks inhuman
3. they make the police out to be EVIL and the black CRIMINALS ok
You're not even TRYING to get past the racial bias here to understand that the SYSTEMS for policing and the customer service interface to justice and legal ARE the problem that America right now is blaming SOLELY on racism.. It all needs to be MORE TRANSPARENT and seriously MANAGED by city govts MORE concerned with plastic bags, global warming, guns, big gulps, vaping, energy drinks and sanctuary status...
You;'re in a hopeless race rut here and can't even be part of any solutions... Did you watch the WHITE guy in Dallas get snuffed out EXACTLY George Floyd style in 2017?? And how the police WITHHELD the bodycam vids from the court/public for THREE FUCKING YEARS??
Pretty sure with YOUR opinions -- you're NOT EVEN upset by that one.. You'll rationalize it as "the white guy was a mental case" and just move on...
Dont think you CARE ENOUGH about Civil Liberties as a WHOLE --- until YOURS are threatened....
There IS a "systemic" issue in some cities.. But it's NOT gonna be fixed, because RACISM is not the ONLY answer to the problems...
