I think the blue deserves backing, in general, but when a cop drives up to a kid in the park, jumps out of the car and guns him down within seconds of exiting and is not charged with the minimum of reckless homicide, that sends the message that citizens are not equal or of any value.
When a cop can get away with driving someone around in the back of a van such that the person ends up dead from all the tumbling...
Then all the billions of lesser crimes against citizens.
Back the police, but only the good ones. The position people need to take however is that bad cops go to jail. "Good" cops who protect bad cops go to jail. "Good" cops who fail to keep their own departments good should be replaced.
Why would I wanna back any group of people at all for any reason as a block?
People need to prove themselves as individuals.
I’m still waiting to see where the chips fall when the national guard gets involved in this.
I say this as a vet.
I was one of the dumb asses that fell for Back The Blue. It has become my biggest shame since voting for Mitt Romney.
