Not all cops are bad. Don’t paint them all with the same brush.

Edit - Jesus y’all want to go lynch some cops. I wasn’t expecting so much bigotry from the crowd here. Confirmation bias is one hell of a drug I guess

It’s not prejudice when literally all the evidence supports it. Maybe you’d be process that evidence more clearly without that pig cock cutting off your oxygen supply.

Yes, they are. Good cops are actively forced out of police departments. It’s a very well documented phenomenon.

Pretty much anyone who’s a good cop isn’t a cop anymore because they turned against the bad cops. The bad cops are still there.

Is it true the good cops aren’t cops any more cause they got kicked out?

In an overwhelming number of situations, yes. Cops are intended to prioritize property over people and convictions over justice. Those who speak out about injustices face retribution from their peers and little defense from their union. Police unions act as criminal legal defense to eschew responsibility.

There have even been legal cases of departments refusing to hire people because they were “too smart”. This is largely speculated to be due to fear of those who are more intelligent speaking out, and having a moral compass of their own rather than blindly following.

This is just one of literally thousands of examples that I have seen over the last 30 years

It’s also not even the case I was looking for when I googled “cop fired for not shooting to kill.”
