@KratosKityOfWar @collegetowncop It is their job. And most take that oath very seriously. However, if the good cops leave, the ones who don't want to lose their families security to politicians, who will be left? Probably a lot of the ones that everyone is complaining about...
@NeilisGroot @collegetowncop Most recently, the Columbus, OH shooting. The white house just had a press briefing that is an example of being thrown under bus before info is out. Only a body worn camera that shows officer using deadly force to prevent a stabbing, and its immediately about police brutality.
@advocate4nurses @jUsT_A_bIkE_cOp I would agree for the most part. If it's anything like here, hospitals are extremely understaffed, and retention and recruiting efforts are failing. Why work a shit job for shit pay and shit abuse? It absolutely is a calling, but less and less good people are answering that call.
@momedic9019@flhpi04@jUsT_A_bIkE_cOp Absolutely, on the CrimJust side that's called the "dark figure of crime." It's literally an unknown value we have to account for. The only way to get better cops is recruiting better cops. But who would want to do this job now? Society has ruined this as a job for young people.
@flhpi04@momedic9019@jUsT_A_bIkE_cOp I'm not twitter savvy at all so I'm going to hope this reply was for me.
Dialog is the only way to fix these issues effectively. I'm glad we could have a chat.
@momedic9019@flhpi04@jUsT_A_bIkE_cOp Based on the article, 85000 incidents in 10 years. 8500 incidents a year. 750,000 LEOs in the US makes 0.01% of cops are ACCUSED of misconduct.
A guy once accused me of kidnapping him. I took him to jail for assault. The arrest was on camera, I was still "accused," and innocent
@momedic9019@flhpi04@jUsT_A_bIkE_cOp Good cops do hold bad cops accountable. We literally have cops fired/charged for violating the law, who were only found out because they were turned in by other cops. Good cops hate bad cops more than anyone. For exactly the reason I asked the question in the original tweet.
@momedic9019@flhpi04@jUsT_A_bIkE_cOp Sounds like you've got a shitty department and that sucks. However, not all departments are like that. And thats the problem. Can cops across the country fix your dept? No. But media etc are holding all cops accountable for one cops actions. This makes good cops not want to work.
@momedic9019@jUsT_A_bIkE_cOp Generally, officers aren't dicks outright. Cop's attitude are set by the attitude and actions of the subjects involved. Implying that cops can only be successful by being respectful, doesn't really have anything to do officers not working to protect their livelihoods from ruin.
@momedic9019@jUsT_A_bIkE_cOp Lol, I love this take. Because every police encounter starts out neutral right? And it's always the police's fault it escalates? Ok.
One of the chants last year was, "What do we want? Dead cops!"
Being respectful only goes so far as it is reciprocated. And that goes both ways.
