Matt Davies for December 17, 2021

The proportion is reversed.

Some years ago we had a crazy man walking up to cars at an intersection and shooting the occupants… the local cops “bravely” watched him do it until he ran out of bullets… later the police chief argued during a press conference that the police’s duty was NOT to protect and to serve – all while a squad car could be seen in the background with that slogan clearly printed on it…

Got it wrong Mr. Davies, it should be the other way around.

if cop were real good they wouldn’t protect these thugs with badges

The police unions have it covered. Nothing to see there!

Let’s go, Brandon!

Try your hand at being in Law Enforcement. Agency’s are always looking for “good” candidates.

36 years on the job and never protected a single bad cop. We had a number of cases investigating bad cops from other agencies and put more in jail than we cleared.

Notice that the bad cop is drawn with dark skin. I wonder if Davies even knows he did that…

And in doing so, they all become Bad Cop.

Who is it this time???

And this IS the truth, except that if you KNOW a cop is dirty and do nothing, you are also dirty. You have made a choice to condone criminal behaviour among the ranks. If you remain on the force beoynd 3-5 years, you are not a “good” cop; you’re just low-grade dirty, at best….

Its a tough job folks

We structure organizations which have to work extremely well under all kinds of potentially dangerous circumstances, such as military and police forces, to ensure that they can work together cohesively, without question. We emphasize that their lives depend on each other, that they have to completely trust each other. “Band of brothers” is not just a quaint phrase. We drill into them that that bond is the most important thing, because if you can’t trust your brothers to have your back, then how can you face deadly situations? At the same time, we drill into them that there has to be a well-defined order of power — no questions asked, immediate obedience. There is a specific chain of command that must be followed or else there will be chaos. Therein lies the paradox. To have a unit work as a unit, smoothly, efficiently, able to respond to any threat with no hesitation, one has to have immediate obedience and total trust in each other. But, what happens when your brother is corrupt or even just not very good at his job? What happens when the person shouting orders isn’t right or just hasn’t understood the situation? What happens when the sergeant, captain, inspector, or general is corrupt or incompetent? The Army has spend millions of dollars over several decades trying to figure out how to identify a good general (one who plan and execute plans, and adjust as needed under all circumstances, who can make good decisions rapidly, who can demonstrate honesty, fairness, impartiality, good judgement on the battlefield and in the boardroom) before he becomes a general (preferably while he is still a captain so he has plenty of time to gain experience). As far as I know (having retired a over a decade ago), they are still looking for the right formula.

As a probation Officer, I meet one or two bad cops, one went to prison and the other, was found not guilty of arson. He never was a cop again. I liked both of them but what they did was wrong and they never should carry a gun or a badge. Even had a judge who went to prison for several felony check cases, he deserved his time, he was a conceited P***k. Later he worked as a car wash attendant, mowed lawns and scooped sidewalks. How far the mighty have fallen.
