[@StarterVillian]

Never call the police. After my husband died while on hospice they interrogated me in the driveway of my home

[@LuckyCartel]

@@spicypeach6946 why would you want to replace someone without changing the system… It’s the system that makes everyone corrupt… It’s the police Academy that don’t teach constitutional training the way they should… Telling someone to take their place just turns them into a corrupt person overtime that is if they stay in line and do what they’re told

He got a paid vacation and he got to collect his retirement money, but in the meantime she has to struggle by not being able to work that she worked hard for and he just got away with assaulting her when he should be locked up in jail for what he did to her. Cops are not being held accountable for the crimes that they commit and it's time that they do because they are getting away with it and they are getting a paid vacation as well as collecting their pensions. That's tax payers money that they are collecting and tax payers are paying them to do whatever they want to people and they are still collecting money from the tax payers, this is what pisses me off that our tax money is paying these psycho cops to do whatever they want to us and we are still paying them for abusing people, for their paid vacations, and for murdering people, but if they are about to get fired they get to resign and go work for another police department and do the same thing and still collect a paycheck from the tax payers, but they don't get held accountable for their actions and they don't have to pay the people that they hurt or the families of their deceased loved ones that they murdered by the cops. And when the police department is getting sued the tax payers are the ones that are paying the people that are sueing the cops. I think that the firefighters are crazy enough to go into a burning house, but I would rather have my tax money go their crazy butts any day, because they risk their lives to save yours, but our tax money is going to crazy cops who are trigger happy and get to assault people and don't get into trouble for what they do to people. It needs to change and they need to be held accountable, and we need to do something about it if not then they are going to keep doing it and they will still get paid for it!

[@phonesupport8985]

The police and the mafia work exactly the same. These are gang members looking out for gang members! Even internal affairs are part of these gangs.

[@wisdomoverfear2685]

I disagree...you're much safer dealing with the "mafia" ...at least they have some resemblance of morals !

[@michaelccopelandsr7120]

When you fear integrity and accountability, you are NOT the good guys! And cops wonder why no one trusts or respects them, anymore.

There’s no such thing as a “properly trained” cop. I can try to teach my cats how to solve algebra problems all I want, but at the end of the day all they can say is “meow”. 😐

[@sdnlawrence5640]

Should've been fired immediately, no pension and felony criminal charges filed. Plenty of cause, not to mention the obvious mental and psychological issues

[@Sondan1988]

We are highly trained professionals, we investigated ourselves, and we found we did nothing wrong...

Let that sink in !!! 560 vs 1,500

He's just an adult child. Tax-payer forced to pay his salary and pension while he plays at his desk and they will have to pay the suit's damages. I believe that he was further motivated by the fact that the EMT was a woman and was black. His ego is out of control.

Last I saw him he was posted at the community college and making a reputation for himself, and his department, as a lecher and harasser. So.. was he attracted to the salary, or the extraordinary power of the badge, that he could, like micheal proctor, like Brian higgins, Kevin Albert, ad nauseum, abuse with impunity?
