Well duh!

Most "good deeds" done by anyone especially by cops... aren't publicized or sensationalized in the media.

Negative.

I can name several incidents first hand where the cops have helped me, and others that I know out in great ways...and it didn't make headlines.

However, it seems like the slightest mishap by an individual cop appears to be the talk of the town for years.
I mean the reality is, over 95% of cops brought in for CCRB complaints in NYC have been either exonerated or completely unsubstantiated. the other 5% or less are the headline grabbers...and most of them end up fired and/or imprisoned for their actions.

There is also more of a hunt on lower class and poor people often.

I just posted one. Also congratulated a captain who disciplined his officers who shot a mentally handicapped man.


But no. I'm completely biased. So biased I dated a cop.

Posts and attitudes like yours make sure nothing will ever change because they pretend it is the police who is the problem and not the criminals who just happen to very often belong to so called minorities. Police is not a problem. Go do this job, you're going to get disillusioned about human kind very fast.
There's a lot of racism on the force. That's not just me making an accusation, many other officers on the force have said the same thing.

What does that have to do with black people who have nothing to do with the crime??

Why should my friend be stopped every week on his way to work? Why can't I have due process before being assaulted? Why does a black man in Florida have to be detained 250+ times before someone speaks up?



You should read through this thread.

Racial profiling is a necessity, like three white guys cruising a ghetto are suspected to be buying drugs.
That's racial profiling.

Yes that is racial profiling if they are stopped. And it is WRONG


What are they gonna be stopped for if no traffic violation is broken? Where is the probable cause?
