I’m going to guess the families of murdered civilians by bad cops are probably a bit angrier than good cops, but your point is taken.youthathletics wrote: ↑Sun May 31, 2020 3:22 pmYup...The people most mad at the bad cops......the good cops.cradleandshoot wrote: ↑Sun May 31, 2020 3:19 pmI have been saying this same thing for a very long time. 97.5 % of all police officers just want to protect and serve.

Re: Racism in America- Riots Explode in Minneapolis
One of my childhood friends and high school teammates is a retired cop. Joined the force right out of HS. Just the type of guy you would have expected to be a cop. Always had a certain mentality. Not a bad guy but the type of guy that would be into telling people what to do.Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Sun May 31, 2020 8:47 pmI’m going to guess the families of murdered civilians by bad cops are probably a bit angrier than good cops, but your point is taken.youthathletics wrote: ↑Sun May 31, 2020 3:22 pmYup...The people most mad at the bad cops......the good cops.cradleandshoot wrote: ↑Sun May 31, 2020 3:19 pmI have been saying this same thing for a very long time. 97.5 % of all police officers just want to protect and serve.

Failed the state trooper exam, limited neck, about 2-4 inches below the male adult average, tight fade to hairstyle?
There’s a couple in my hometown I grew up with who are raging alcoholics, definitely use force beyond necessary, one even have taken down a HS/sub. 18yr old girl or two as an adult officer. Both had fathers on the force.
I met a guy once, Irish kid who was a cop in the Bronx. Some kind of relation like second cousin to long term girlfriend I had back then who grew up in Bainbridge/Kingsbridge part of the Bronx. We were all at some bar, back then rumors of Shane McGowan from the pogues supposedly showing up, like the Irish version of Tupac, and talking about some jerkoff and this guy explains to me how to create a car bomb. He was a second generation cop who barely scraped through Hs. Not necessarily a bad guy, maybe a little racist, all those folks were (1st & 2nd gen Irish in and around NYC), but there’s a ton of cops like these two examples. That the bar is this low to allow sovereign provided lethal force and ability to remove someone else’s freedom is a structural problem that would exist without the race element that is layered on top in many of these killings.

Re: Racism in America- Riots Explode in Minneapolis
FFG/TLD, many agencies have stiffer requirements these days. Most I’m aware of require you be at least 21 by the time you graduate from the academy. Some also require 60 hours of college, which is waived if you’re a veteran.
https://www1.nyc.gov/site/nypd/careers/ ... iring.page
Minneapolis PD, requires an Associates degree or 5 yrs le experience or military service. Their academy training seems pretty light though, only 16 weeks.
San Fran seems like the place to be. Starting pay $90k, seven years in $135k. Of course you’ll probably have a commute of 2-3 hours to find an affordable home.

Woman out shopping for groceries in Dallas gets shot in the face by police with pellets / rubber bullets (they're supposed to be targeting center mass):
Lots of people cleaning up the streets after looters, but not much reporting on it.

One of the more bizarre things about this whole thing....and I didn't notice until Dan Rather mentioned it....
Trump hasn't done a prime time address to the nation about this event.
Speaks volumes, sadly. And on multiple, multiple levels.

Re: Racism in America- Riots Explode in Minneapolis
Good to see higher standards exist even if many are still grandfathered in, and I suspect smaller communities are less rigorous in general, but maybe even those standards aren’t enough for the responsibilities of the job?6x6 wrote: ↑Sun May 31, 2020 10:35 pm FFG/TLD, many agencies have stiffer requirements these days.

And $90k in SF is low income of course. My brother in law makes a shade under $100k as admin management at Cal Berkeley (manages a small department or two in social sciences school) and my sister makes around $50k as a pre school teacher at a high end Jewish pre school and they are fairly broke out there. (that’s what a MA in Drama will get you, turned down a job at NYU working for Julie Taymor to go stage direct at Berkeley Rep theatre around 1990, never cleared $100k doing that, became a full time mom for more than a decade, went back to get a MAt or whatever at some joint called Mills College so now 2 masters and makes $50k)

Re: Racism in America- Riots Explode in Minneapolis
Thanks. I know one SF cop. He is independently wealthy and definitely doing it out of a commitment to public service. I have a friend in that’s a police officer in a nearby Trumpland town.6x6 wrote: ↑Sun May 31, 2020 10:35 pm FFG/TLD, many agencies have stiffer requirements these days.

Re: Racism in America- Riots Explode in Minneapolis
I didn’t appreciate the Puerto Rican girls up there enough at the time, though happy to report this girl a dated for close to 2.5yrs was a smoking hot blonde Irish girl who was born up there then move out to Pearl River (Rockland Co) when she was in middle/hs). Just ultimately didn’t work out as she had a bunch of family issues from her mother dying of stomach cancer when she was 17 and her dad being a functional emotionless alcoholic (mom and dad met in NY but came off the boat from Co Kerry when they were 18 in the 1960s) which she picked up like blacking out a lot and some depression. The trashy hot Yonkers italian girl in tight jeans with the door knocker earrings were great too.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Sun May 31, 2020 11:42 pmI had a college girlfriend from the Bronx.

Has anyone thought that bad cops remain cops because the police unions protect them? I am for zero tolerance policing, but it has to go both ways.
