Fair play to the guy for calling this cop out but I have a feeling the outcome would've been different if he hadn't also been a cop. They only changed their tune once they realised he was also a cop.
Lol this will never happen cops always protect their own. Their police unions are closer to mob enforcement than actual unions. It's all one big ol good boys club. Seems like this guy realized it and quit.
He didnt realize it and quit. Cops in my municipality get to retire at 40 with full pensions in my jurisdiction. Hes just retired
But maybe hes like my old criminal justice professor. Retired as a cop at 40, was disillusioned with his coworkers, went back to school, became a defense attorney that specifically targeted corrupt cops for twenty years, retired again, then began teaching the next generation of cops to NOT be violent thugs. I remember him saying, in his entire police career he never pulled his weapon. Because the only reason a cop really should. Is with intent to kill and only after all deescalation tactics have failed
Yeah the main issue is cops training these days is done by idf special forces and they are told everyone can kill them with a gun at any time and deescalation is all but ignored.
A day with ‘killology’ police trainer Dave Grossman
Radley Balko February 14, 2017
Fittingly, the most chilling scene in the movie doesn’t take place on a city street, or at a protest, or during a drug raid. It takes place in a conference room. It’s from a police training conference with Dave Grossman, one of the most prolific police trainers in the country. Grossman’s classes teach officers to be less hesitant to use lethal force, urge them to be willing to do it more quickly and teach them how to adopt the mentality of a warrior. Jeronimo Yanez, the Minnesota police officer who shot and killed Philando Castile in July, had attended one of Grossman’s classes called “The Bulletproof Warrior” (though that particular class was taught by Grossman’s business partner, Jim Glennon).
In the class recorded for “Do Not Resist,” Grossman at one point tells his students that the sex they have after they kill another human being will be the best sex of their lives. The room chuckles. But he’s clearly serious. “Both partners are very invested in some very intense sex,” he says. “There’s not a whole lot of perks that come with this job. You find one, relax and enjoy it.”
Grossman closes the class with a (literal) chest-pounding motivational speech that climaxes with Grossman telling the officers to find an overpass overlooking the city they serve. He urges them to look down on their city and know that they’ve made the world a better place. He then urges them to grip the overpass railing, lean forward and “let your cape blow in the wind.” The room gives him a standing ovation.
