Maybe you have been doing the career a little to long and have become accustomed to the ideals of the good ol' boys, did you forget the history of law enforcement?
Actually, the first police departments started in England with Sir Robert Peel. That's why London cops were called bobbies.
mainly that of the south? Law begun as Klansmen whose job was to monitor slaves and quell any uprisings, they also had the given power by law to invade any slaves privacy because they were not considered human.
It would be a reach to tell all the black officers in police departments in the south that they are doing the work of slave masters. In Southern cities, the chief of police is black. You can check it out yourself.
We have three era's of policing I personally believe the political era to be the most detrimental and still ongoing even today, each era was filled with changes and rectifying of terrible misconduct and policies, yet going by your post it seems to minimize and gloss over some horrible atrocities because you yourself had a decent experience, you acknowledge there are problems but only in a passive tone as if the problem is at best a mosquito bite.
You are free to contact your local police department to talk to any police officer or even the chief of police just to share your feelings and ask questions.
Since we both have knowledge of the law lets end this with the fruit of the poisonous tree, you remember that? lets change the logic just a bit and put the term to use with current policing
If one cop is corrupt he is considered poisonous he thereby poisons the other cops thus making the whole of the department corrupt by affiliation, no cop from this department can be considered good because the cop(fruit) is poisoned thus the roots are poisoned.
No, I don't agree with that. In my department, there were cops who got caught doing the wrong thing. This is after I left my department. This one dude took photos of a teen naked. He got investigated by Internal Affairs, went to court, lost his job, and is serving time in jail. Yeah, he screwed up. But I did not associate with that guy. And his actions do not reflect the other officers. Another cop was caught DUI. Again, it happened after I left. I knew him in passing. I think he didn't get charged, but he lost his job. Cops are people and their personal problems don't apply to all other cops in that department. If one guy has an alcohol problem, everyone doesn't have an alcohol problem.
If we wanted to go with your reasoning of roots are poisoned, if Ray Rice beat his girlfriend, then all black pro football players are poisoned and guilty of beating their wives or girlfriends. Does that sound right to you?
Better yet let's hop over to corrections, what do we know about offenders and how they are grouped? we know you have low-risk and high-risk what happens to low-risk offenders when you group them with high risk offenders
@unit321? So what would happen if you group corrupt cops(high-risk) with good cops(low-risk)?
Well, high-risk offenders and low-risk offenders in the county jail were never grouped together. Actually, high-risk offenders were put in solitary confinement because they were high-risk. Maybe it's different in state penitentiary, but I didn't work in a state prison so I can't speak on that.
Smh you made me write a wall of text, I will never forgive you bruh
I didn't force you to write anything.
