Pressure. Now they know what it feels like to be on the other end. Clean up your house! no one expects cops to be perfect they are human beings. But the bad cops are really rotting all cops. Hospitals do not put up with a few bad surgeons or people die. Same with the police. Weed out the bad apples...all of them. Don't tolerate any. Surgeons have life and death in their hands. So do cops. If surgeons can't get away with being a bad surgeon then neither should a cop!

I would like to see all police union contracts voided and new ones negotiated as part of reform.

This policeman and trump have to learn this moral lesson - a position of power doesn't just give you respect - respect is earned.

As I've said elsewhere, this is another reason I don't like unions. Too often they are all about "having your back" even for those who don't deserve it. And often they look the other way when the offense is perpetrated against another less senior union member.

You want to pretend that tens or hundreds of thousands of demonstrators are "rioters" due to a few (often RW agitators), then be prepared to accept that all police will be kettled also, until you clean *your* house, Mr Non-Benevolent. Or should I say "Police Ben Violent Association"

We'll treat you with the respect you deserve, pigs. Stop acting like animals and thugs and you'll stop being vilified. Simple, no?

If you have serious enough charges for ou to be fired from the force, then your certification should be taken away & you find another job doing something else

(18,470 posts)I'm done tolerating this horseshit. These people need to go find different careers and those departments that are so hopelessly corrupt need to be broken up and new police services formed that are extremely selective about who they hire, especially those who worked for the previous department.
