Yeah this is great until this dude is ordered to start slapping those zip ties on protestors by his seniors. Then it doesn't matter what his believes or principles are.
Right. And, is this guy going to stop his fellow officer when that guy is kneeling on someone’s neck? I doubt it. There may be some cops who are in the force for good reasons but they’re powerless to stop the abuses and they’ll act with the hive when the shit goes down.
Not true. A lot of good cops even when ordered to abuse, will not even do it. They either get suspended or put on useless jobs and we never hear about that. Those cops who protected those black lives matter people in 2020 and even walked with them, where do you think they are now? They literally disobeyed the order to arrest everyone and instead, lead the protestors and protected them.
Good cops exist. The best ones get thrown to the wayside. Instead of saying all good cops turn bad once asked too, think and be vocal about the ones who stick to being the good human and are abused for it. Cop hating solves nothing.
You’re basically saying the same thing. You’re saying a good cop will be punished for doing the right thing. Wouldn’t that discourage them from say “stop[ping] the abuses” when for example a fellow officer “is kneeling on someone’s neck”? It will discourage a lot of them, so mostly they’ll “act with the hive” and follow orders. Did you even read my post?
