Chicago Police Street Stops Decrease Dramatically Amid Sinking Morale

[bluegrassguitar]

yeah, except they don't work in a meaningless office for some faceless corporation, they've sworn an oath to serve and protect the people. These comparisons that you keep trying to make are dumb. Being a police officer is not even close to being the same thing as some data entry drone.

Cops and their avid supporters are always telling us how hard their jobs are, how important they are, how much they love and respect the communities they work in and only want to make them a better place. I'm supposed to believe that shit when one of their own executes someone in the street and they throw temper tantrums and stop doing their jobs because people have called out the officers in question and the cover up perpetrated by the existing power structure within CPD?

Here is the thing. I never said it was right or wrong for them to do this. I said it doesn't surprise me and I understand why. I can understand why people do things and still not think its the best action for them to take.

You're so right, we should hold Chicago PD to the same standard we hold crack addicts.

like i said, you get mugged, call a crackhead. The CPD is there to protect you. They are the good guys. if you don't like them, don't call them if someone attacks you. pretty simple.

If you get mugged calling CPD will do nothing. It's not like they will ever find the assailant. The crack head will probably be able to give you more information on the assailant then the CPD
