Doubt of the benefit (Man: I want to kill someone. And get away with it. So I'm going to wear a blue uniform.) My magical blue uniform automatically means I get the full support of politicians" (Man: What video"?!? He's on paid desk assignment. *Includes ridiculous cover-ups! *And ass dragging!) A D.A. can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich- but he'll barely pretend to try to nail me. (Man: Sort through these random documents and use your knowledge of state law to see if maybe a violation occurred) Best of all: A blue uniform gets you the benefit... even when there's no doubt! (Man: Self-defense! He didn't know his victim wasn't planning to kill him first!)
Take the money awards from the police pension fund rather than the taxpayer and you’ll see these brutality/murder incidents go away. The “good cops” will quit protecting the “bad cops” when their pension is involved. I don’t hate police officers but I do hate cops who are criminals themselves. Pass it on.
