So have the cities decided that it's not cost-effective to screen/train cops to prevent ones like this from getting in this position?

Maybe it's cheaper to just let the bad ones fuck up and them throw them to the wolves when they get caught. Quick murder charges on these guys help sell the narrative that the department is 'taking the issue seriously' as opposed to the past criticisms of sweeping it under the rug.

They don't seem to have much incentive to prevent this type of incident from happening.

There's no reason to think they're seeking out new victims and pose a particular danger to society, or any more of a flight risk than the average accused, presumably have no serious criminal record or history of bail jumping and probably have ties to the community.

I’ve been living in an inner city for 20+ years and that’s simply not true. You must live in a suburb to not see the decay and the problems.

yes, they love their community so such and have wonderful ties, so much so they beat a member to a pulp. guess the beatings shall continue until morale approves

He can't be on their side.
He has the wrong jersey on.
At least the ones on the street know this.
Wake up people.

You've spent years talking about how violent criminals getting out because of bail reform is a horrible thing that's destroying cities.

Now police who abused their authority to murder a guy in cold blood gets out on bail and you think it's fine.

Hilarious.

This is a really dumb take. We are all a mirror of our society to some degree, but cops are primarily a mirror of the system they work in. The system is the problem, not the communities. They are trained to view civilian life as expendible and to think that no matter what happens they're going to get off. The reason they're trained to think this is because it's been true until just a few years ago. The only reason we're seeing any of this is because of the increasing protests. If this was 20 years ago it would have been swept under the rug, the police would have been transferred to a different department, and they would have kept murdering people.


I went to college in an incredibly safe city. You know what the police did to my coworker? Beat the shit out of him and put him in prison until his facial swelling went down to take a picture to book him. You know what happened when he lawyered up? They transferred the police to a different department and hid the body cam footage. To actually get the police responsible would have cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees.

maybe its one of those places that the criminals are put through a revolving door? and the judge just said.............meh...

Wrong, cops used to be like this.
What could have changed it so quickly?
