(82,383 posts)But just because a person belongs to a profession does not mean they have any duty to "speak out." There are thousands of police departments in this country, too. And hearing about these cases fails to reflect the millions of successful, peaceful person/cop interactions.
You've no right to condemn any member of NYPD or require them to do anything. They should be judged on their own merits. Enough of this blaming people for the actions of others, whether they be protestors or cops or Muslims. That is NOT what a liberal does (though I know there are people here who want to blame Rush Limbaugh, Palin, etc. for what right wing nuts do. But I don't find that correct as a liberal. Nobody has to do anything because Rushobo or Palin said anything).
