OT: Cops kill George Floyd

What strikes me in this country now is this new knee- jerk campaign to disband all police dep'ts. Are you kidding me? So you witness a murder. Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters? You witness a bank robbery in progress. Who you calling?

With no cops around who arrests criminals?

Let's face it: Left wing nut jobs deserve the country they are trying to make the USA into.

Can you spell anarchy?

Why you give such a sh*t? Worry about wherever you live now.

Doc, defund just means redistribute money. I got this covered, not to worry. Where in Europe are you?

I live part time in Europe and part-time in the US. So why shouldn't I be concerned about both locales?

In Spain? I spent time in Malaga/Toramolino years ago. There's a suspense/drama on Netflix now "White Lines" which takes place in Ibiza. Have you been?

it's just strange to me that as delusional as we can be sometimes- its like DUDE have you been paying attention?!
You actually got on this mic and fired off all of that nonsense..unbelievable CS...

Can we see a group of cops step forward and condemn the ones that need to go?

Very unlikely it will gain meaningful traction even if they do. I'm a vocal progressive, married into a conservative family. My BIL is a cop. He's a good person, and I've always known him to do the right thing in life. He referred me to that video when I asked how he was doing yesterday. There was no discussion, just a link.

It is harrowing to realize just how much of a cult law enforcement is in this country.

Cobra...you gotta give me more context...not really sure what you are trying to convey...My childhood friend is a sergeant
in the NYPD...I plan on meeting up with him to talk about these issues in detail and get his perspective...

I'm just saying I'm not hopeful on the whole. Someone in law enforcement whom I generally respect and who has always comported himself as a cop who follows procedure and regulation, referred to that video as a means of communicating his thoughts on the situation we find our country in right now. That's all. Even the good guys on the force are either brain washed or silenced.

ok - I kind of sensed that was the spirit of your post-just dont like to assume...

I can't disagree with the expectation but I feel like a cop could break rank- i have a sneaky feeling...we really need a purge Cobra...

A Manhattan NYPD lieutenant sent an email to his fellow officers apologizing for kneeling alongside George Floyd protesters late last month — telling them that “the cop in me wants to kick my own ass.”

In a June 3 email obtained by The Post Thursday, Lt. Robert Cattani of the Midtown South Precinct said he regrets his “horrible decision to give into a crowd of protesters’ demands” and kneel at Foley Square in Lower Manhattan, with several other cops.

“The conditions prior to the decision to take a knee were very difficult as we were put center stage with the entire crowd chanting,” Cattani wrote. “I know I made the wrong decision. We didn’t know how the protesters would have reacted if we didn’t and were attempting to reduce any extra violence.”

Video from the demonstration shows thousands of protesters chanting, “NYPD, take a knee” at officers.

After some prodding from the crowd, at least four cops knelt and were met with raucous cheers.

“I thought maybe that one protester/rioters who saw it would later think twice about fighting or hurting a cop,” Cattani wrote. “I was wrong. At least that [sic] what I told myself when we made that bad decision. I know that it was wrong and something I will be shamed and humiliated about for the rest of my life.”

“We all know that a–hole in Minneapolis was wrong,” Cattani added, referring to fired cop Derek Chauvin, who has been charged with murdering Floyd.

“Yet we don’t concede [sic] for other officers’ mistakes,” he added. “I do not place blame on anyone other than myself for not standing my ground.”

He wrote that his decision to kneel “goes against every principle and value I stand for.”

“I spent the first part of my career thriving to build a reputation of a good cop,” he said. “I threw that all in the garbage in Sunday.”

Since Cattani took a knee, he said, he’s struggled to eat and sleep and even considered leaving the department.

“I could not imagine the idea of ever coming back to work and putting on the uniform I so wrongly shamed,” he wrote. “However, I decided that was the easy way out for me and I will continue to come to work every day being there for my personnel.”

The NYPD did not immediately respond to a request for comment about Cattani’s letter.

There are no good ones. Maybe some do good things occasionally but that's about it. If you haven't ratted out a fellow cop, then you're one of the bad ones because they've ALL seen them commit misconduct every day. But Joe Biden will fix all this by dumping more money into law enforcement. Great.

This essay from a former cop explains it best:

The whole culture is **** and needs to end and be rebuilt. Honestly law enforcement is a job that can be done best 99% of the time without government attack dogs.

A cop did break rank. His name was Christopher Dorner. And we already know what happened to him.

Notice at the end he states “being there for my personnel.”

When he should be staying “being there for my community.”

Their loyalty lies with themselves. Until the blue wall is dismantled like that of Berlin, the problem will remain. Good cops are ostracized if they break code. The police force in America is nothing more than a glorified gang.
