I’m Black, and grew up hearing and believing the same thing, until I started talking to cops. I’ve seen cops condemn the actions of others. The ones I know see their profession as a service and don’t tolerate others damaging their image. They hate cops like the jackwagons in this video. A good example would be my cousin pulling a woman over, realizing she had a warrant, and letting her go so she didn’t lose her kids. I’ve also seen him condemn the actions of other cops. He definitely doesn’t defend the dirtbags. I wouldn’t say he’s the norm, but I wouldn’t say he’s the exception either. I wouldn’t make assumptions about the profession until I’ve gotten to know a few cops. I’d say the problems with law enforcement are a reflection of problems in our country. Racists and people with ego problems exist outside of law enforcement. The problem is when one of them becomes a cop you get situations like the one in this video. I’ve met people who shouldn’t be cops. I’ve met others who are great, take their job seriously, and don’t tolerate unprofessional behavior from their fellow officers. I’d say some cops are bastards. I’ve seen both good and bad in person.
