I don’t disagree that uvalde was a fucking failure and disgusted me to hell and back. But you’re wrong, just like some of the other twats claiming cops are trash. Cops will always need more training and should get a hell of a lot more of it. They need many more hours of defensive tactics and deescalation training for example, but you’re full of shit that good cops don’t put bad cops in check. No good cop wants to work with a piece of shit bad cop. The fact is that dirty cops don’t do their dirty in front of good cops. Sure, good cops might suspect bad cops of being corrupt, but suspicions are not enough to deal with it. I have been there. I have also reported excessive force on another officer, but the victim refused to cooperate when I informed my Lt of what the other officer did and the guy even told my Lt right in front of me that I was a fucking liar. Eventually, that piece of shit cop got his just desserts and was fired and charged with stalking a store clerk. He would go into her store when she was working and try and flirt with her. She repeatedly denied his advances and when he fancier her on the ass when she walked by, she filed a restraining order against him, which immediately got him suspended and his gun taken away. The next day, he showed up at her hpuse and demanded she rescind the order and she called the police and he was immediately arrested and fired on the spot. Fuck him and all dirty cops. Just because you post in a bad cops thread all the time doesn’t mean you know what you are talking about. And btw, that thread was started by me and was about a good and justified shooting of a piece of shit that shot someone and hid on a porch. When the cops found him, he jumped off the porch to run away and dropped his gun and tried to grab it. He was shot and killed and of course, per requirement, shitbags on social media said he was murdered. I studied the incident and the video and it was a justified shoot all the way and per scotus case TN v Garner, he was an immediate threat to the public and was justifiably shot while running away. A vindictive twat of a mod changed the thread title to a dirty cop thread, but it is now a circle jerk of anti cop people that cherry pick the few bad incidents that occur-and some that weren’t unjustified but they don’t know the laws and have never ever responded to anything remotely resembling a dangerous emergency where lives are at stake.
As for you assertion that cops don’t have to protect you and never do so, that is based upon two transit cops on nyc that stood by while a shitbag was trying to stab people on a subway train. A man fought off the attacker and they just fucking watched. Total disgraces. The guy sued and the scotus made a ruling that cops are not held responsible for someone being a victim of a crime. That does not mean when they see a crime in progress that they don’t have to act. It simply means that if a shitbag attacks you, cops are not responsible for you being a crime victim and not preventing it before it happens. I have railed against those transit cops before and they were cowards. But the timing is oft misunderstood.
As for “cops investigate themselves and found nothing wrong” that is of course, false. Any criminal conduct by an officer is investigated by another agency and usually by a grand jury to give an indictment. The only times cops “investigate” themselves is when it is an internal policy violation but not for criminal investigations. It has not been the case for police to investigate criminal accusations for quite some time, but it was cemented by Obama s 2016 commission on 21st century policing after the mike brown shooting, which was 100% justified because he attacked a police officer, Darren Wilson, who was still in his patrol car after brown robbed a store and used force on the store clerk. Of course, shitbags rioted and burned the city down, and the department was ultimately ruled predatory-which was correct based upon the department of justice investigation, but the shooting was ruled justified by the justice department:
