There is a national epidemic of police violence, and we are just beginning to understand its scale.
In recent months, there has been a constant drumbeat of high-profile police killings.

As a member of FR, and guest of Jim Robinson, you have an obligation to help keep FR free of postings which will be harmful to this site.
Any posts which gratuitously call cops murders needs to be brought to the attention of the moderators by hitting the “ABUSE” tab.
Have you ever done that?
As I said up thread, your post is a lie, and you have never used the ABUSE tab, because what you claim has not happened.
Just keep them blinders on....
Have YOU ever used the “abuse” tab?
Out of the tens of thousands of cops on the street with tens if not hundreds of millions of daily encounters with the public what was posted above IS indeed isolated incidents. Yet there are some members on here who try and blow it all out of proportion to make it seem like its something widespread much like the race hustlers such as al sharpton have done with Ferguson MO.
Are there bad cops? Yeah, just like there are bad doctors, lawyers, teachers, firefighters, etc.
Too many bad ones. And too many “good” cops who close ranks around them.
There isn’t that many bad ones.
As far as the rest if your comment, they “close ranks” because A.) They don’t want to be viewed as “sniches”. B.) They want to be sure that backup actually arrives if and when they call for it.
C.) They may not know of or have witnessed any wrong doing.
But hey you are obviously of the persuasion that all cops are guilty of everything under the sun no matter what... Innocence be damned.
Per NYPD Detective and Freeper “thefactor” there was no attack.
Jump to conclusions much? My dad was a cop, I grew up around them and respected them. Now I am suspicious of them. And I want bad cops called out and dismissed. If their bad acts call for it, I want them arrested. It rarely happens though. That is why they lost my trust.
Yes.
I’ll give you this, you are honest about good cops covering up for the bad ones.
If a good cop covers for a bad cop, then the good cop isn’t really all that good.
