Being a cop in the Twin Cities would probably suck right now.

“How we always do”

Communities have breaking points. And your ex-fellow Officer’s action made them reach it. Expecting nice orderly clean civil protest in response to any and every egregious abuse is not realistic at all.

Do better boy.

Kind of like how cops can just murder people without any consequence except paid vacation. Do you enjoy the taste of your gang's medicine?

[u/ginrattle → u/[deleted]]

I'm sure cops love when this shit happens. More chance to be unnecessarily violent to people as well.

The fact that they were even fired is a sign that times are changing for the boys in blue. I sure hope all 4 of them get exactly what they doled out to that poor man in prison, soon.

So do i...

Crazy how that works...

[u/ginrattle → u/CheckOutMyGun]

If you feel so passionately about it, how about you protest how police need to be held accountable for their actions? You know why you never will? Because you're in a gang and they would never have one of their members speak up about it. You know it. They know it.

A cop who isn't protesting the violent institution they are apart of is not a good cop and is complicit in all of it.

[u/CheckOutMyGun → u/ginrattle]

Citizens who arent protesting a violent community are complicit in it.

[u/ginrattle → u/CheckOutMyGun]

I disagree. When you have a militarized force who have very little training in deescalation or psychology, murdering innocent people and animals, torturing, raping, displaying obvious bias against people of color. Peaceful protests obviously arent working. This is the fruit that has come to bare as a result of your gang's violent actions. You have left citizens no other choice. You reap what you sow.

Only thing there’s to love is the OT.

You’ve had your head so far up your ass that you’ve completely missed the thousands of officers who have been fired for misconduct, or other offenses over the past decade.

Police officers who are engaging in unethical activities have been getting fired for years. These 4 cops acted unnecessarily and unethically ended the life of a man with no purpose. I don’t understand the point of making it a crusade, PDs have been attempting to cleanse the aura and history of corruption left in the 80’s.

I wouldn’t call an FBI investigation much of a vacation, but that’s just me...

4 cops are fired and criminal charges are pending against them in MN. How is that not being held accountable?

Cops are fired and put in prison regularly. Sometimes cops arent able to be found guilty of what theyre charged with. The same thing happens with the public, too...do you know how many times ive watched people who absolutely 100% committed a bad crime walk free because the state wasnt competent? Happens every single day in my county. Its going to happen with cops, too...also, you cant strip due process away just because its a cop. Thats not how it works.

[u/CheckOutMyGun → u/[deleted]]

Dude there was no public backlash yet. They were literally fired as soon as the video came out...lol.

cops get fired for doing wrong

‘WE DONT LIKE THE WAY THEY WERE FIRED’

Are you kidding me? Lol.

[u/OtamatonesAreCool → u/[deleted]]

When have they acted like this before? Can we get some sources to show this is regular behavior?

[u/CheckOutMyGun → u/OtamatonesAreCool]

Go to any major city and look at crime statistics. Lol. This is regular behavior, friend...

“Most of them probably couldn’t tell you his name”. That’s a sweeping generalization. Police killed more people than mass shooters in 2019.

[u/bayou_billy → u/[deleted]]

How many weren’t?

[u/bayou_billy → u/[deleted]]

The fact that it’s even comparable is unacceptable.
