Reply to comment by houtex727 in 11 current and former East Cleveland police officers indicted after ‘appalling’ behavior caught on video, prosecutor says by AudibleNod

Police union says there is a perfectly good reason they don’t see an issue with a video of cops beating the shit out of a guy lying down with his arms behind his head: they are elected by some seriously entitled people

I’m from Cleveland… nothing is going to happen to those cops. Even if they are fired they’ll be replaced by someone who does the same thing. The police have their own rules here, they themselves are a gang.

I lived in Oakland. When we first got here the cops were literally passing around an underage prostitute https://www.cnn.com/2016/06/24/us/oakland-police-scandals/index.html

Unfortunately we also have the opposite happening to good oversight. We have an unelected committee firing good chiefs because they won’t erase their parking tickets. It’s like the fucking Wire over here https://oaklandside.org/2022/05/18/ex-oakland-police-chiefs-trial-revisits-bitter-conflicts-among-city-officials/

You say "here" as though that's not true in every police department, though.

Yup, my mom’s salonist always says she doesn’t see a problem worth addressing with police because of the thieves and riots.

Never mind that the cops would never respond to the salon in a timely manner should either happen.
