I'll apologize when there's a police overhaul and they quit seeing everything as a nail and they're a hammer. I'm tired of the 'we investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing' BS I see in 90% of stories of cops shooting first and asking questions later, or refusing to act. 'To protect and serve' is a motto written by a fifth grader that they're not beholden to enact, but act like they do. It's nonsense.
I have no doubts SSF isn't one of the racist or idiotic pieces of shit that have weaseled their way onto police forces and have been poisoning those wells for decades. But failure to hold your peers accountable makes you guilty by association in my eyes.
Am I being heavy handed? Absolutely. Am I out of line? Probably. Am I going to apologize for it? Probably not any time soon. They've done the damage to their image, not the citizens.
I'd also like to remind everyone that statistically speaking you're in more danger in your job as a landscaper than a cop. Link because you won't believe me. Where's the 'Thin Green Line' flags?
Again, heavy handed. Again, meh.
