Across the country, police have undermined and resisted reform. To protest a prosecutor, one detective was willing to let murder suspects walk free, even if he’d arrested them and believed that they should be behind bars.
You know, I cannot wait to be off this god forsaken world. Death can’t come enough. What’s it gone to, when the very people we’re to “trust” are thrown into their own chaos like this.
What good is justice when we have assholes like this guy? A convicted murder is on the stand, guilty as charged but…“YOUR HONOR…I…I HAPPEN TO NOT LIKE YOU AND BECAUSE I DON’T LIKE YOU, THIS GUY SHOULD BE SET FREE AND IN FACT, I WILL SABOTAGE MY CASE TO MAKE SURE HE IS FREE!” fuckstick comes up in defense.
In the U.S. the first publicly funded police force was formed in Boston, to protect economic interests. The company that started it argued that police should be a publicly funded thing (even though they were just protecting their shipping yards) because it was for a common good.
So from the beginning it was nothing more than protection of the wealthy. There’s been little change from that today. They just pretend they’re here to help.
This article can’t be true, because you can’t just refuse a prosecutor demanding you testify. That’s literally why we have subpoenas. Gonna google this.
EDIT: I missed the part where he straight-up said he’d refuse to apeak if subpoenad. That’s how you get contempt charges. Prosecutor should have called his bluff.
If only all cops would do this for all cases until the prisons/jails are improved…
Police officers should have their pensions removed when they knowingly obstruct justice in this fashion.
Do your fucking job, or GTFO.
EDIT: Also, I’d bet any amount of money I can guess, 100% correctly, who this jackass voted for in the past 4 elections.
At work, I work with people I don’t like and sometimes hate to get the job done. It is called being a professional and having honor in the job I do.
