It's very disappointing. I am sorry these officer's lost their jobs. I can tell you that because of all the racist Black Lives Matter activity, it is stressing officers' out. All this nonsense about bowing on a knee to a group of criminals. They were stressed out, like all law enforcement is because of what is being allowed in the United States. I understand their frustration, I am frustrated too. It's just a shame this happened and the officer's lost their jobs. Many other officer's are going to resign too because of all the 'defund police' and disrespect for police in the United States. Some will not need to be fired, because we will quit!
Again, so what? Perhaps whites should have thought of that and not purchased.
If the people back then could have seen the modern-day results of slavery, I'm sure that they would not have brought slaves to America. The U.S. Constitution would probably have included a ban on all Africans.
So did you do something about the sex offender in your school? If you did, what happened?
The truth all came out decades later. We didn't know at the time.
He had been caught molesting teenage boys, so the Catholic diocese in my area decided fo put him in an all-girls school figuring he wasn't attracted to women. We loved him- we had no idea what he was. Was never inappropriate with any of us. He even performed the wedding ceremonies of some of my friends.
It was heartbreaking when we learned, and turned me against the Catholic church permanently.
Pretty odd that you're equating children turning in a trusted authority figure to adults turning in a coworker, though.
You treat anyone like cops have been treated lately and there’s a good chance they reach their breaking point and say things they wouldn’t under fair conditions.
Cops being treated like garbage and arrested for doing their jobs while others are free to abuse them physically and verbally while politicians agree with those abusing them and abusing them themselves.
I watched a news segment with a line of cops blocking protesters. One black man was walking back and forth, face to face with the cops says: "f**k y'all" over and over to each cop. They had to stand there and endure the abuse. I completely understand how cops reach their breaking point.
I used to endure the same kind of racist abuse as a teacher in an inner-city school and it's hard not to feel resentful when you are the object of it. Blacks like to pretend it's a one-way street. From what I personally witnessed, they are the far more guilty party.
By the time I retired, my primary goal was to move where they don't live.
So glad I did!

well, the point is: often times, bad cops with a racial bias and violent tendency hide their behavior pretty well, the truth often comes out when it is too late. Either people die or get seriously injured.
Just like child molesters, they can hide their behaviors pretty well without getting caught.
You made it sound like there is a written on the bad cop's forehead or something. lol Sometimes, the problem is just that they are hard to spot. So don't jump to the "good cops cover for the bad cops" conclusion too quickly.

But the Church WAS aware...and didn't turn him in to authorities and allowed him to continue in his position of power, and did nothing to help those children and families who were hurt by his (and others) behavior. That is on them, just as much as allowing bad cops to continue in their duties, while turning a blind eye, is on the departments allowing it.
every conviction of a black person this cop has ever been involved in needs to be overturned and throw out, unless the person convicted openly admitted to doing the crime or there is like actual video proof. Otherwise, we can't trust that he's ever been honest about any black people he's helped convict. Any case where it was just his word against a black person's should be thrown out.

I missed that part. If this is the case, then it is wrong, obviously.
