There are bad cops and there are good cops

 I’m going to say that a bad cop is one that bodyslams a 73 year old woman to the ground and then fist-bumps his partner while the woman, whose shoulder was dislocated by his partner, and her wrist was broken from being thrown to the ground, sat for six hours in a cell without medical attention as they re-watch their cruelty and laugh.   

They should lose their jobs, be arrested and convicted of assault and abuse, and spend time in jail being someone’s bitch.  They should burn in hell once they’ve left this mortal coil.

**********

It’s a far cry from the officer who helped me with my mom.  When he was on duty and saw her, he would follow her home to make sure she got in safely, and he even stopped in to make sure she was okay on his off hours.   His grandfather had dementia and he took it upon himself to help where he could.  

He was my go-to guy and a blessing.  A true peace officer.  

***********

I understand that policing is hard.  But when you go over the edge and savage an 80 pound woman because you feel you can, and you laugh, then you should receive the consequences of that action and anyone who watched and laughed and left an old woman without care for hours should also.

  2. Wrong. There are NO GOOD COPS. There are bad cops who lie, steal, assault and commit all manner of abuses…..and their are the bad cops who stand around watching these abuses and DO NOTHING. A good cop would STOP the bad cops actions AND arrest them. That NEVER happens. The only time a bad cop is held accountable is if there is video of their transgressions…..and even then not always. There ARE NO GOOD COPS.

  3. B-yes. They do need to clean their own house. They know the bad actors.Dan–I'm going to disagree with you on that. I believe there are good cops–I've met them. In some places there are bad ones and the blue line does work counter to keeping the public trust since they flock together and the good ones don't want to rock the boat. But I'm not going to say it never happens and I can't and won't say there are no good cops. Just like all of the interactions with officers that we don't hear about because they were uneventful, we don't hear the good stuff.

  4. Midwest chick…..those “good cops” you met are just as dirty as the rest….I GUARANTEE that they have been present and observed other cops committing all manner of abuses….and DID NOTHING…. making them just as bad as the cop they covered for.
