I admit I laughed out loud at my desk when you wrote "You know, I’d really like to knock the crap out of that guy, but I just don’t wanna do the paperwork."<br />I feel like that daily and I'm not a cop.

Sound...Thanks for the "inside" insight. <br /><br />Sounds like he was a product of his environment, what with not wanting to lose face in front of other officers. That was the Blue Code, which is still in effect. Cops who violate people's rights will never be exposed when their teammates stay silent.<br /><br />Cops like to tell the neighborhood people to come forward as witnesses and break the "Stop Snitching" taboo. <br /><br />They need to lead by example.bluzdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991272670722362652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-58154414388719078192019-08-27T09:07:47.745-04:002019-08-27T09:07:47.745-04:00Many years ago, I worked in a group home for young...Many years ago, I worked in a group home for young boys, and we always had to be partnered up with a second person. My partner happened to be a NC police officer who was moonlighting for extra cash. He was super funny, but he also had an an extremely aggressive personality. In fact, when I first met him, I was intimidated until I got to know him. He never used violence with the young kids even when they tried to become violent with him, but his demeanor kept them in line. However, he said there were times that he knew he overreacted when he was on the job, but felt he had to save face once he got started, so that other cops would respect him. He didn't mind showing off back then. I asked how many complaints he received from citizens in the 10 years he worked there, and he told me about 5. Back then he said it was easy to justify the complaints because there were no cameras to tell the whole story, and there were some instances he wishes he would have responded differently. I spoke to him recently. He says that if he were still a cop today, he very well may have been fired for many of his controversial and aggressive actions, and admits that all those cops who are doing the wrong thing now should be held accountable for breaking so many laws. I agree. Hugs, and another great topic!ROhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07417463444013920901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-19599377891221109852019-08-26T22:08:51.898-04:002019-08-26T22:08:51.898-04:00It shouldn't be controversial to ask cops not ...It shouldn't be controversial to ask cops not to shoot unarmed people or plant evidence or arrest people on trumped up charges or beat the hell out of them when they're in cuffs.<br /><br />The fact that so many don't seem to think that's wrong is the problem.bluzdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991272670722362652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-38193141247201121572019-08-26T19:32:15.260-04:002019-08-26T19:32:15.260-04:00You aren't a cop, so you have no right to comp...You aren't a cop, so you have no right to complain when we shoot a 12-year-old boy with a bb gun or choke a man to death for suspicion of selling cigarettes, or break a man's neck in the back of a police van because he annoyed us by running, etc. You just don't understand what it's like. If we're going to be criticized every time we murder someone, I mean, why are we even doing this job anyway?Professor Chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07983291640844939759noreply@blogger.com
