Good Cops Are Driven From The Force

[Revoltingest]

Joe Crystal was threatened & harassed by his entire department
for reporting illegal assault on a handcuffed arrestee. In such
places, there aren't any good cops. They're driven away.
And Baltimore is a large city, which points to police being a large
well organized criminal enterprise.

The Code Of Silence is a powerful too used by police
to keep the good cops under control. Chicago is an
even bigger city than the above referenced Baltimore.
The ex-cop in the video is lucky to be alive....cops will
have whistle blowers killed. The Serpico scenario is
still around.
Cops make the Mafia look like amateurs.

I've heard stories about New York cops from an ex member. Policing has been problematic throughout the history of New York. Long ago it was handled by the fire department and was just as bad. Crime is a political hot potato, and if you promise to make it invisible you get carte blanche.

You know this was an argument I heard BLM activists using, it must have merit.

It's an argument that had merit before BLM existed.

Sometimes it takes a large movement, to make it known to the wider public. I'd always assumed but never seen data/evidence.

The Serpico case was notorious because of the
1973 movie, which pre-dated BLM by many years.

When a good cop spots corruption & abuse,
reporting it to superiors can be troubling, ie,
they threaten the whistle blower, & ignore the
complaint.

Report a fellow cop for dangerous illegal behavior?
The department often retaliates against good cops.
Report your chief?
Uh oh.

FOX 13 Investigates: Officers say Heber City retaliated after they accused police chief of choking suspect

Heber City police officers say they have been retaliated against after accusing the chief of choking a handcuffed suspect while placing him into the back of a police car earlier this year.

Excerpted...
Until that point, officers on scene said everything they saw was appropriate. Then they watched Booth’s right hand repeatedly latch onto the suspect’s throat as he struggled with Rodriguez to get him into the back of the police car.
:
Sgt. Jason Jarvie, who was also not on scene, filed a formal complaint after reviewing body camera video and listening to statements from at least one concerned officer who witnessed the incident firsthand.
The officers said they felt they were required to report the use of force, per department policy.
Jarvie said his supervisors strongly encouraged him to take a demotion after reporting the chief.
He has since left the department “solely due to the city’s retaliatory actions.”

The above case shows that police departments
should not investigate themselves. Especially
by a close friend of the investigation's subject.

It turns out that the chief has choked people
hundreds of times by his own admission.
Yet this was the first time it was ever reported.
