For the FTP's amongst us

Wow...that's some good stuff!

 

Powerful statement

“….we are a separate entity that runs this shit. Do we have this problem with power with human beings? Maybe we do, so let acknowledge that and put measures in place so that we don’t exceed our power boundaries have some checks and balances in law enforcement because we don’t have ZERO. We get away with everything we want to get away with till there’s a camera…”

 

Sounds like a democrat to me.

 

He's a former Baltimore police officer....11 years on the force. I'm pretty sure he has a clue about his former chosen profession. He may not be right but he is at the very least as close as you can be to an informed position about the profession.

 

I think what he is saying is that there is the illusion and it is presented to the public as there are checks and balances but in practice they can do largely what ever the fuck they want until there is a camera present to record their actions.

 

More like a canary in a coal mine...

How about checks and balances to keep it from happening in the first place, instead of prosecuting it after the fact?

 

Right, that’s exactly my point, the Rogan interview was in 2015.

Like any recovery, one must acknowledge there is a problem before it can be dealt with appropriately.

 

What exactly do you propose?

 

How about not having it take the feds coming in to dig out the bullshit. It's the same nonsense that happened here in Chicago a few years ago. They hate internal affairs because they all feel strongly about not holding each other accountable. Anyone else remember a few years back when the Florida State Trooper "had the audacity" to cite the Broward County officer for reckless driving doing over 120 and weaving through lanes? Didn't she leave south Florida due to death threats from cops?

 

I seem to recall they found that a lot of cops had accessed her license information.

 

So the system is working just fine in Baltimore? No need to address the mass corruption in the early stages, just wait until it's a complete disaster and then try to clean it up.

As for that ex-cop that you called a college kid who spent a few days on the force, you might want to do some research before just making shit up, you couldn't have been more wrong about his experience. He saw the shit first-hand for years, maybe he knows something about it.

 

Not my specialty, but it's a management and accountability problem. You'd have to see where problems originate and what allows misdeeds to go undetected and put in systems to address those problems. Run a tight ship.

 

Brillant!
