And this clown' s statement is what creates DIVISION between the "rank & file" and the American public.
True or not... what the public perceived in the VIDEO that nearly everyone has watched is... whatever the George Floyd was guilty of or not... he was MURDERED by a POLICE OFFICER, with 10 previous complaints of brutality against him, who kept his knee on a handcuffed prisoner long after he was incapacitated and already in custody.
If it had happened to YOU I would bet dollars to donuts your family would already have a fleet of lawyers to "right the wrong."
The fact that the police union chooses to circle the wagons around the officer is WHY the public will be angered further.
The union taking this stance, which is usually where they land, ONLY creates further DIVISIVENESS and makes the public believe that the police ALWAYS think they're right.
And we KNOW that's NOT TRUE!
WHY?... because "no one is above the law"... especially the police themselves.
The police union is corrupt to the core. I would bet they are getting payoffs from the drug cartels to keep the drugs flowing into the Twin Cities. I am suspecting that the illegal drug industry is an element in this Black Lives Matter, “A Good Cop Is A Dead Cop,” lawlessness. They don’t want police to stop the drugs.
