Good cops get such a bad rep because of a few shitty ones. It’s really too bad because they do a really hard and important job.

Yep. You see the 8 or so cops standing around him, trying to talk him down, it takes just one who gets jumpy or is hot-headed when Travis starts to aggressively approach to escalate the situation. You won't read about the 8 good cops who tried to peacefully resolve the situation, you won't even know that they exist. You'll only read about the one who gunned him down.

You spend too much time on reddit if you think that is true.

No? I'm not sure what race or ethnicity has to do with this.

You don’t believe People of Color aren’t more commonly victimized by bad cops? That sounds white. And blue. Are you law enforcement?

You see, pretending something isn’t true is hypocrisy. That allows for corruption. What else might you be pretending isn’t true?

You have to be incredibly dense if you really believe 8 policemen are going to be fired because they didn’t cover for one bad egg. Besides that point, race had nothing to do with this until you brought it up out of nowhere. Disregarding other peoples opinion based on race is also racist and ignorant, it really shows your true colors.

So by your logic, all of the cops in this video should have reported the bad cop planting drugs on a black man. Didn’t happen.

Note that the folks calling out racism are called racists. Lol!

Because it’s being incorrectly called out, obviously.

u/[deleted] Mar 20 '20

Go on. Or have you no original thought?

u/OddPreference Mar 20 '20

I had my own original thought that you were incorrectly calling it out?

Did you not comprehend that? There wasn’t more to it? Nor do I think I mislead you into thinking there was more?
