I think this is more of myth perpetuated by television. Does anyone work at a job where the lazy are tolerated, or the incompetent protected by those that get blamed for their sloppy work? Why is it assumed police do the same thing. There was no sick-out, walk-off or complaint from police over what happened to Mr. Floyd. Even in Atlanta, where the circumstance is not so clear, most police stay on the job.
Can’t you see, that is just a proximate excuse. They have been pining away to destroy institutions for a long time. This is opportunistic. There is no reason people in Seattle need to protest LEOs in Minneapolis except opportunism. These are the same actors as the Occupy movement who want to camp out and party and invite the homeless in, as if they can offer a better lot in life.
My cousin is a retired police officer. He did not adhere to the code of silence or something similar to it. His belief in the Bible was greater. He took down over a dozen cops. Some were partners. When word reached the ears of the Chief of Police that there was talk of putting a hit out on him, he started getting promotions to get him out of harms way. He eventually ended up as Captain of the IT department. A safe cushy desk job answerable only to the Chief of Police. And when he retired, He moved 100 miles away to be a Pentecostal Pastor for a Church of God and to be somewhat safer against those cops he put in jail when they got out. During the 70s, my step-dad was part of the same police department’s Mafia and that came from his own mouth.
Mistrust of police is either valid or invalid, and while mistrust may be higher among blacks, that alone doesn’t make the perception valid. To answer your question though: there is no general reason to mistrust the police, by blacks or anyone else. This is a very grave misperception that has been deliberately created.
So in other words you realize you’re posting on a forum and not PM?
Outside of the cities run by leftists for generations and a few rural spots still run by Southern Democrats, blacks have little to fear from Pd.
I say farewell and let’s hire some Replacements that want to play by the new rules.
Those three had to stay silent, as they were complicit and facing charges. However, police across the country have condemned those officers. There was no attempt to protect them because they were police. Maybe it does just vary place to place. Here, our code is we protect others by never putting them in a situation to lie or cover for you. The one that commits a crime is not protected. The one that makes a mistake must answer for it without expectation of anyone lying or covering up that mistake.
