How police can use Brady lists to discredit whistleblowers

[@JarrisVonzombie]

Dave, I am glad you are covering this problem. Police whistleblowers are being retaliated against by cities and towns through wrongful terminations and blacklisting added by police agency administrators and county attorneys.

[@ArcanaKnight]

"Retaliation is unacceptable and will not be tolerated" ...but you've already tolerated it.

[@Timbone07]

Exactly

[@danieljones317]

Will not be tolerated because we condone it.

And people wonder why we want law enforcement to be overhauled. Why are protectors of the law not held to a higher standard? Why is law enforcement afraid of accountability and transparency? Phoenix PD doesn’t even report in LEO stats requested by the FBI 🤔

Their job is to keep the prisons. Full of people and the court system with Souls going through the system so they have a financial incentive to pray on the poor and minorities we can't afford lawyers so they have secret programs to drop off guns and drugs in poor communities and to make crime rates go up for funding

[@thomasmills3934]

Most of us dont want cops overhauled man. We want people to stop committing crimes. Twitter and social media are not real life man. Thats y Trump won. Most of us out here stay quiet most of the time. This whole woke thing is about to end.

[@EvilVacuum]

@@thomasmills3934 you don’t need social media to tell you that Trump lost. His lawyers brought over 60 cases to court across the country and he lost them due to lack of evidence. You don’t have to take my, the media,, lawmaker, or social media’s word for it, they are public court record. You can literally read who the judges were (appointed by him), that there was no evidence, and that’s why the court cases were thrown out. If you don’t have evidence, your case doesn’t go forward. Simple. And if you don’t require evidence to believe things, then I don’t know what to tell you. Who are you hearing that Trump lost from, LAWMAKERS? Sure, they NEVER lie. 😒 I don’t trust Democrats either, that’s why I independently check things like court proceedings, lawmakers voting records, medical peer reviews, etc. You don’t have to take ANYONE’s word. It’s all public. And as far as police, let me guess, you don’t trust the government at all, but for some reason you completely trust the foot soldiers of said government. And even if you resolve yourself of that, police are still entry-level jobs, held by imperfect humans, in a job that comes with IMMENSE power. Maybe I’m crazy, but any job that comes with significant power and since humans can be corrupted and imperfect, should come with significant oversight and scrutiny. Not have a blind spot for them. That’s exactly how corruption festers, when good people look at the other way. I trust no one. Especially in government. It comes with too much power to just assume people are doing the right thing.

[@Antygrvity69]

​@@thomasmills3934: That's because either most of you are naive or don't care because the corruption hasn't affected you yet. Crime isn't going anywhere..! What many of you fail to see and understand is that our Gov will make sure crime doesn't decrease but so much. The way our country is designed is to make sure crime stays as high as possible while convincing as many citizens as possible that they are being tough on crime. If you don't understand why, think about it and follow the money. What career (not dead-end jobs but career's), what career does crime not generate more opportunities. Careers generate revenue for the Gov. & it's in their best interest to keep prisons filled, then turn around and convince you (the citizen) how it's costing taxpayer money. Don't believe me, do your own research and you will see that if crime was cut too much, you will realize how many citizens would be out of a career. Judges, Lawyers, doctors, surgeons, etc. etc. etc., the list goes on and on. And we haven't even trickled down to talk about the Police, Firemen, Emergency room crews yet. And still yet haven't made our way over to how crime generates IT Careers, especially Cyber Security careers. The 70's start on the so called "War on Drugs". Do you realize how many careers the War on Drugs generated? It's in America's best interest to keep crime as high as possible, even if falsely generated. That's why people that understand is asking for "not only police reform", but to reform the system as a whole from top to bottom. Until the rest of you realize this, nothing will change because they have most of you thinking our system want to stop crime. Why would anyone try to put a stop to something that will literally eliminate the majority of career opportunities in this country?

[@gangrel138]

The problem is that internal affairs is internal to the department. We need external affairs departments with no attachments to the police department or local government who have investigatory powers. Heck we could set up a department within the FBI and they rotate investigators to different cities every couple of years so they don't build rapport with the officers in that city.

[@redfin382]

If an organization of civilian people were commiting the crimes these police officers are committing they would be considered a gang and thrown in prison. This is why we need the rethink our entire policing system. It's broken.

At the end of the day it is of my opinion that police depts should not be investigating themselves. There needs to be an outside entity not affiliated with the police dept who does the internal investigations. additionally said entity should not be paid for by the police dept nor should it involve anybody of any relationship to any police officers so as to help ensure there is no bias for the police dept involved in any investigation!

[@JuanRamirez-md7pj]

Truly like what you did, by reporting on this "Brady List". One issue, you keep saying the Brady System is broken. A strong possibility, yet consider that the Brady System is doing EXACTLY what it is meant to do. Perhaps the true intention was to simply pacify the publics outrage. A way to present the public with the ILLUSION that they are really trying to make things better. Logic tells you, that if you are serious about making a change, you FOLLOW through. You hold those bad officers accountable, you enforce consequences, you make sure these indiscretions by people who, by occupation, SHOULD be held to a higher standard are reported on a NATIONAL level, most importantly you TERMINATE and ensure that these people can no longer hold positions in law enforcement anywhere in the country. They aren't willing to do that, instead, they blow smoke in the publics face and cover up and commit the same crimes they arrest citizens for.

Isaiah 53:5, he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes, we are healed. For salvation, people just need to follow the way they did it in Acts? They were baptized in the water and of the spirit. Here's why! The gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. If we are to follow him, we must do the same thing. Death= repentance, Burial = baptism, and resurrection = being filled and rising again from the dead. That's what Acts 2:38 is. We must obey the gospel, 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL of our Lord Jesus Christ... Matthew 7:21-23, Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that DOETH THE WILL OF MY FATHER which is in Heaven. St John 3:3-5, EXCEPT a man, be born of WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT, he cannot enter into the kingdom of GOD. We can't come up with our own gospel. Galatians 1:8-9, But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Don't be cursed. One way for all people. Jews, Gentiles, and Samaritans. Our salvation has to match-up with the scriptures and no scriptures on the subject can be taken away. Eternity is TOOO long to be WRONG! st, John 5:39, Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. The gospels show what Christ has done on the cross for us. The book of Acts shows us the beginning of Christ's Church and how to enter the Church, obeying Acts 2:38. The letters were written to the Church to show us how to behave now that we are born again into the Church. It's better to walk alone than to walk with a crowd going in the wrong direction. Are we supposed to follow the teachings of the apostles? Acts 2:42, And they continued steadfastly in the apostle's doctrines. Ephesians 2:20, We are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone. Don't get Titus 3:5 mixed up with James 2:14-26, about WORKS. One is a WORK of your OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS OR GOOD DEEDS and the other is a WORK OF FAITH. If you believe in this message, help spread it in the name of Jesus Christ so people can get saved the right way. God bless you
