I think that people who balk at the phrase "all cops are bastards" might be helped out with "good cops don't last."

Sooner or later, every cop will encounter a situation where they can be complicit or try to do something about it. A good cop will try to do something about it. They will encounter immediate resistance, and will be pressured to shut up and be complicit (whereupon they cease to be a good cop). If they persist, they can expect to be fired, harassed, thrown in a mental hospital, or even directly physically attacked and murdered.

Hell, if they're in the NYPD, after they're done with you they'll probably make a commemorative challenge coin about it.

All cops are bastards because good cops don't last. You are absolutely not allowed to be a good cop.

Some ya’ll who are younger need to google Frank Serpico and read about his time in the NYPD and what the cops did to him and attempted to do to him up until the late 90′s. He literally had to go into hiding in Italy and Switzerland and multiple times people tried to kill him. He only came back to America after the mafia (who hated the NYPD a lot, obviously) said “you’re under our protection.”

Damn, NYPD is so bad, Mafia started protecting good cops

I mean, it has been noted before, but my understanding is that the NYPD are functionally just a rival crime syndicate

The thin blue line is a threat.

Cops are trained to be bad. Anyone who insists on being good is not welcome.

When bad cops can easily count on the support of other cops but good cops fear retaliation, then it's not just "a few bad apples".

I hope he wins the lawsuit, a police officer was finally doing the right thing and they penalize him for not being a racist monster!

his name is stephen mader and not only did he refuse to shoot, he actively wanted to help the man (ronald ‘rj’ williams) because he could tell that he was only acting out because of mental illness. rj williams was suicidal and holding an unloaded gun and, while mader didn’t shoot him, a fellow officer (ryan kuzma) did and murdered him on the spot. here is the source and here’s to hoping rj williams gets justice

“Saying the words ‘Just shoot me’ sent up the red flag that he was just trying to harm himself and no one else … That’s what made me make my decision. He needed help” I hate this fucking world. The guy was actually trying to do his job by actually desculating the situation the right way (desculating these days apparently just means shoot them) and was fired for “failing to eliminate a threat.”

HE WON THE LAWSUIT AND GOT $175,000

I read this whole story. It is wild !! The conversations between him and his ex coworkers about what went down that day 😧😶

Listen to it all here:

when I say there are no good cops, this is part of the reason why.

“good cops” lose their jobs for doing the right thing.

“good cops” die mysteriously after whistleblowing.

“good cops” are forced to choose between their livelihood and becoming just like the rest.

In addition to this article, Cariol’s GoFundMe page has links to many other sources of information pertaining to her story.

These “good cops” are not loud enough for us to believe they exist.

Most of the assholes who scream “Blue Lives Matter” have never heard of any of these heroes. They’re too busy defending murderers like Darren Wilson, Daniel Pantaleo, and Timothy Loehmann.

“Not all cops are bad.” No shit. The cops shown in the photo are good cops, and there are many more like them. So why are you only defending the bad cops?

Didn’t include one of the most egregious cases of all, the time the NYPD had a cop involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital. He was released after a week when the doctors determined he was fine and not ill in any way. He had reported fellow cops for brutality.

The officer’s name is Adrian Schoolcraft and the hospital still billed the family.

Notice they’re mostly women, people of color, and elder people. 

I found a link to help fund Officer Cariol Horne.  If I find the actual petition to make sure Officer Cariol Horne gets her pension, I’ll send it on over.

I’m originally from NYC, and this disgusts me.  Here was actual proof of an actual good cop, a female black cop, and this shit happens.

Please pass this around!
