I repeat police union boss Jeffrey Follmer in Cleveland is scum.
"How about this: Listen to police officers' commands. Listen to what we tell you, and just stop," he said. "I think that eliminates a lot of problems."
"I think the nation needs to realize that when we tell you to do something, do it," he added."
If this isn't proof there's a malaise among cops I don't know what is.
Yeah right asshole. A 12 year-old was a threat.
GTFOH.
I don't get the argument 'if you obey they won't kill you'. Even if you disobey it should not result in death.

"To serve and to protect".
ReplyDeleteWhat a lot of people don't realize is that what the police (and government) "protect" and "serve" is the system, not the average citizen.
It is society--- it's dogmas, it's traditions, it's prejudices, it's overprivileged upper-echelon social classes, it's inflexible rules and standards---that those-in-charge (both primary and secondary) are endowed with the responsibility of "serving" and "protecting".
