Why we should not trust police.

[The Jungle 1]

They protect their own at all costs.

1. That's frightening.

2. blue wall of silence

has always been a reality. High profile cases are now sometimes proven against racist and/or corrupt cops. Yet exponentially in the number of cases in all cities and burgs, a rare phenomenon even with proof of culpability in cop corruption, even murder. As I have experienced.

3. So tired of

Generalizations. SOME officers are bad and should not serve. Absolutely! But there are a lot of good, caring professionals who do serve and protect.

4. Problem is, one bad apple spoils the whole barrel if not removed.

And despite the number of good, caring individuals, police are refusing to police themselves. It might be the Union's, it might be the "benevolent organizations", but police culture has devolved from the "protect and serve the community" people expect from shows like Adam-12 and Dragnet, to "protect and serve ourselves" super warriors too many are trying to act like today.
Until bullies and racist cops are replaced by violence de-escalators and community service workers who also work at reducing crime and building trust, you're going to continue to see people stating ACAB.
Bad cops are hiding behind the good police, and the good police don't seem to be doing anything about it, for whatever reason.

5. It seems the bad ones outnumber the good ones,

and are increasing.

The SWAT team used to be an extreme. Now the lowliest armed tax collector, uh, I mean "traffic cop", is outfitted like a stormtrooper. And they're all mentally itching to use that stuff.

6. Are the "good ones" really good if

they know and say nothing?

Yes, I get that police workplace culture demands that they remain silent and supportive no matter what, but honestly, all those "good cops" are complicit when they turn a blind eye to abuses.

10. +1,

8. Your statement is correct.

The thing is there are a lot of bad cops. It is not in our best interest to trust any police.
Video all police. Do not answer questions. Do not open your door. Ask Anjanette Williams if she trusts cops and would open her door.
Video has changed policing for ever.

7. Just a reminder, never, ever talk to a cop without an attorney present.

Just saying. Also this.

9. Bunch of lawyers

My sister is a lawyer. Her daughter is a lawyer. Her stepson is a lawyer, Her stepdaughter's husband is a lawyer.
They all say the same thing: Shutup and when you are done shuting up then shutup shutting up. The police are not trying to help you. It is not a social call.
