The doctors are working their asses off while soldiers are back at base.

The irony of the "few bad apples" thing is that it is constantly misused. It's a reference to the pre refrigeration days, when you had to find tricks to preserve things in the absence of cold. One trick was putting those things that lasted a while, such as onions, potatoes, and apples, somewhere cool and dry. They would last quite a while if you did that, but it was very important to routinely inspect them. If one rotted, and you tossed it out fast enough, the harvest as a whole might last quite a while. If you let the rotten apple/onion/potato stay in there too long, the rot would spread and the entire batch would be quickly ruined. In other words, "a few bad apples spoils the bunch" is actually about how if you don't root out corruption with vigorous inspections and actions, it will corrupt an entire system. Which is what has happened with the police. Corruption has spread and become entrenched and is now systemic. The irony is that many people use the "a few bad apples" proverb in a way that completely inverts its message. They say it to suggest that the presence of corrupt individuals is not indicative of systemic corruption. How's that for historical irony?

the Problem are not the Cops. just the ppl making the Laws

I was married to a dispatcher. I hung out with cops. I found there were 3 kinds: 1. Those who truly wanted to be the good guys catching the bad guys. 2. Those who wanted a government paycheck and pension. 3. Authoritarian personalities who enjoy the domination of others. About 1/3 for each group.

@houdini9739

Yeah there’s definitely a problem with the way the whole law enforcement system is structured, but I feel TERRIBLE when I see people trashing all cops, saying that they’re all terrible. Because I’m sure there’s a huge portion of cops who truly want to help people or, at the very least, know enough to not hurt people. Even if they’re just in it for the benefits and the pension, they’re not unnecessarily cruel and they just do their job. But there are many, many cops who just like holding power and abusing it, and our current system just enables them, because there’s no real punishment or threat. And those cops are always the ones who make it on television. I’m not saying the bad cops are the minority, but I hate it when people generalize all police as being bad.

I'm a cop. In another country. It's murder. I'm also a prosecutor. At work today we were discussing our jurisdiction's equivalent to second-degree murder, which is I assume statutory murder in my country (common law murder here is killing with that precise intent, statutory murder includes intentionally causing serious harm that results in death, serious disregard for human life, etc). We all agreed that we would give statutory murder a run. He conducted an unlawful restraint and refused to remove his knee even when the person in custody was saying he couldn't breathe. And members of the public were begging the police to get off him. And they tried but were threatened with spray (or potentially get shot themselves). When Floyd stopped moving, became unresponsive, the murderer remained on his neck for nearly 3 minutes. He is held to a higher standard than an average person due to op safety and combat training, as well as duty of care. I only saw a short snippet of the footage, however, he did not appear to check on Floyd's welfare or show any concern for Floyd's distress, nor his colleague's repeated requested to get off Floyd's neck and turn him over. So, although I cannot see how first degree (common law) murder would stick (we can't prove that he actually intended to kill Floyd beyond reasonable doubt), however, second-degree should be a strong case. Especially with the CCTV footage from a neighbouring business, and the MoP phone footage of the incident. The BWV on all officers should also be quite telling. I feel somewhat reassured knowing that the murderer would be having a horrible time in custody and will not enjoy his sentence at all. He is a stinking pustule to my profession, the type that sinks into the fabric and you can never quite wash out the odour, no matter how many times you try. It also breaks my heart knowing (and seeing on the street today and yesterday at work) that people don't feel safe, especially around me, a white cop. That is wrong. My presence should be reassuring, help feel safe. I serve and protect, all humans (and actually animals too) within my jurisdiction. To borrow the ethos of our indigenous peoples....I cannot speak for others for that is their words, their knowledge; I can only speak for me. However, I am listening, I am watching, I want to help in any way that I can. Every waterfall begins with a single drop. Stay safe, be kind to each other. :)

Growing up in the late 60s, I had no idea what “Racism” meant. I was 6yrs young & walking into my 1st grade classroom. The majority of children were blonde/blue eyes. The only 2 that had different shades were me & Lawana. The teacher sat us in the back of the classroom. Later that day I told my mom, I didn’t want to go back to that classroom. She ask why. I told her the teacher doesn’t like me. The next morning my mom walked me into to the classroom. Realized the issue & took the matter to the principle. The next day I was sitting in the second row with the other kids. That didn’t change anything. The teacher began to mentally abuse me. Eventually she resigned. My mom believed in equality for humanity. Our best leaders start at home. Parents, it’s our responsibility to protect our children from the ignorance of others. I became the same role model to my 3 sons. They respect every human being/ culture/religion. The only thing that will change is believing in yourself. Love all humanity. God makes no mistakes. We are all his chosen. We are all beautiful. Start loving yourself & others will follow that example.

+Bryan Ho ~ The absolutely terrifying thing here (aside from the obvious), is that two of those cops were total rookies, only days on the job, being trained by the stone-cold killer. Now, imagine there'd been no cameras, no witnesses, no outcry. Those two rookies would've based their outlook on the job on this "training," and likely eventually would have trained others.

@@jeremysmith9694 Tanks in fact are not needed. This comes down to the goal of the police. Police are there to deescalate a situation, a tank does the opposite. Military on the other hand is designed to show overwhelming firepower superiority. So a tank is suited to military use. If the police need a tank they can ask for the governor to bring in the National Guard. There is a system that is in place so that each level can do their job. Some police forces have decided to act like military units which will inevitably bring a militaristic response. It doesn't help that we have so many defense contractors that if they can't sell their gear to the military they sell it to the police. A tank means that you have given up on being police and want to be a military. If a force treats the people like an enemy they will act like one. This is all from the lack of true action by the leaders in the country now and in the past who have not taken proactive action to correct how some police interact with society. We need to learn from other countries who police more effectively than we do with far less firepower. They understand the dynamic and that tanks are not an intelligent solution.

Those exposed simply get transferred (so-called gypsy cops).

This segment is so important and does a great job addressing these issues. Thank you Late Night!

So...a couple of years ago here in the UK, we had a spate of attacks where terrorists would deliberately ram vehicles into pedestrians and those responsible were rightfully condemned as terrorists and murderers. In other words, they did exactly what those police in NY did. Wearing a police uniform while you do it doesn't change what that action makes you, nor does it excuse you from the appropriate punishment - if anything, the punishment should arguably be more severe for a law official to be acting in such a way. And while yes, I could see how a group of very angry people surrounding your car could be scary in the moment, the natural instinct would surely be to back away from the danger, not ram towards it. As Seth said, they should have reversed. Honestly, if Trump wins this next election, I don't see how America can survive four more years without fundamentally ripping itself apart.

I work in the building next to the church DJT visited in Dallas, and drove down Hillcrest on the way to my job recently, where protesters were having a peaceful protest. They were on the grass not causing problems and not even really moving, just standing with signs. The DPD police on the other hand were taking barricades and throwing them across entire intersections - which...there was no reason to do that...only caused a traffic block for drivers - getting in protesters faces and screaming like drill sergeants at them for absolutely no reason. Some of the local Dallas news got it right and mentioned the PD had antagonizing and brutal behavior when reporting on the event when the rest said it was “just a few people” and “scattered” which is bullshit. There were as many cops as civilians and it was hundreds. I didn’t need to see it to know which side to be on. There is another form of peaceful protest I’ve seen in Dallas, which i think is great because it’s much safer. Caravans of families (all races and backgrounds) will drive through town with signs hanging out their car windows. Some say “BLM”, some say “EQUALITY” some say “DEFEND OUR POLICE”. They don’t cause raucous. They are protesting for their rights and it’s awesome. I drove by and got waves/smilles from whole families and their cute little ones

@@dukeguerra4707 so that warrants denying people of due process, firing on unarmed protestors expressing the first amandement rights, and proposing having the military come to suppress the American people? When governors asked people to limit social gatherings to slow the spread of disease, many called it suppression. When people protest the cruel and excessive force that lead to the death of a human being by law enforcement, these same people want to use force to shut them up. You, sir, showed you are not for rights or decency. I am in no ways excusing the looting or violence, but I will not be naive enough to believe there are no opportunists taking advantage of this chaos to commit crimes. To automatically label protesters as criminals is you being deliberately ignorant in order to keep the situation politically convenient.

Okay but people outside NYC don't get how frustrating it is when the tourists are at the top of the escalator from the subway opening a physical map from the subway trying to figure out what's going on

It's not just about the young man who was murdered, or the last young man who was murdered, or the one before that and the one before that. It's about the powerlessness for the ordinary people to change anything. Wages have been steadily falling for 30 years while enormous wealth has been gleaned by the 1% at the top. Cut backs to health and education means delivery of services to the poor has been compromised. It's about power and the concentration of it in the hands of the rich to the detriment of ordinary joes.

pop5678eye : Plus, at the police academies, the main lesson they learn is that they are always in danger out there and should always be prepared to defend themselves against potential wrongdoers. Meaning they are trained to shoot first, think later, and go out on the terrain terrified that everyone is out to get them. I don’t call that training, I call it priming young cops to make a lethal assessment.

Myriam Ickx Police spend almost their entire shift in danger. Everytime they answer a call or pull someone over, they have no idea what they're going to face. I have friends who are security guards and are concerned about looking too "police-ish" and getting shot.

At 2:04: "Shut up, corpse. They'll hear you!" (Pence is indeed a pretty convincing corpse)

I was reminded of the rest of the phrase today, thanks to an educated person in an online forum I read. "A few bad apples spoil the barrel." Bad apples ruin the *entire* barrel. You can't pick them out and everything's okay, the whole barrel is ruined because of the rot they quickly spread. Corrupt people can't exist alongside honest people, because honest people threaten to expose and punish them. They must either corrupt the honest, or expel them. A few "bad apples" visible in the police force means the entire force is suspect and must be thoroughly investigated. Maybe they're not all corrupted, but until you know, you must fully investigate each and every one. Any found to be corrupt must be fully prosecuted and honesty must be restored, or the rot will seep back in.
