(and we'll deserve it). <br /><br />I'm inclined to think that if there are any good cops anywhere, they don't/cant' stay that way long, or they stop being cops. You can't stand by and do nothing, backing and supporting the 'bad apples' --doing so is just another flavor of bad apple. <br /> Cops like and invent charges EVERY TIME they make an arrest--it's their JOB! They're not subject to perjury in court. They want to stack the deck for the prosecution. Again--ITS REQUIRED! Why internal investigations are always a load of shit--the ONLY time they will take serious action is if there are serious political consequences. <br /> When you're on a demonstration, when you're exercising your 1st Amendment rights, never ever forget--those cops are NOT YOUR FRIENDS!<br /> It takss a while, and sometimes face full of pepper gas a bloody nogin and a night in jail for some people to get this...Jacob Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07090220157886320148noreply@blogger.com
