aww geez .... yer not gonna like my follow-up post (with the stop snithin dude)... much ...
I will apologize to you although I was trying to make a point ... I may have done so in a manner that appeared to question your character... that was and would have been uncalled for ... I’m sorry
I have many LEOs that are friends of mine and Good Cops are not hard to find...
I just totally dissagree that “cops are best at policing themselves” ....
I think we need more like Brett... and stronger Civilian Review Boards... I mean if the cops are doing nothing wrong they have nothing to fear from a few questions or a few cameras, right?
however, i was simply talking about what i had eluded to earlier:
shortcutting procedure, disobeying orders having to do with non-legal issues, and cops just being general a$$-oles to EACHOTHER, not non-cops. that kind of stuff should be handled in-house.
we will dissagree about civilian review boards. i don't want some 22 year old grad student from columbia university and some liberal activist POS sitting in judgement of something i did on the street. literally, those are the people who sit on those boards in NYC. and they entertain EVERYTHING. you arrest a crackhead for smoking crack, they make a complaint that you called them a name or some bullcrap and the civilian board cries for the victim crackhead.
no sir, if i mess up my boss will be all over me and, if necessary, suspend me on the spot and kick it upstairs or give me a personal retraining course.
