50+/800 protecting a fired police officer at his house is a good sample size.
Says nothing about the blue code of silence that was on display during the murder (the standing cop, not holding the victim down, but instead making sure his accomplices were uninterrupted).
Fired cop had a dozen+ complaints for brutality over his career, and involved in several deaths. Authorities investigated and cleared him. Coming down from on high, that reeks of complicity.
aren't those 50+ just doing their job? like should they walk off duty and just get fired? im sure 48+ of them would stay even if offered immunity to leave, but still.
im more concerned with indiscriminate pepper spraying, tear gassing the peaceful side of the protests, and the lack of accountability this guy had for years. infinitely moreso.
and still id rather see this guy in a cell than his own home with 50 cops around him.
ive seen lots of investigations into officers play out, if anything i hope thats what comes from this. an overhaul of accountability, even tho it means more govt employees, yuck.
