These 5 cops were inexcusably incompetent criminals and abusive. The insinuations I have read are that this is not that unusual, the race of these cops is irrelevant. So it's not about how many cops we have but whether they are capable and competent and do not engage in ruthless, criminal behavior.
We have more full time law enforcement officers now than we did a decade ago. Yes it is down from its peak, but that's not due to "defunding." Its due to the same factors hitting every workforce across the economy today. People are retiring and there are less people around to take their place.
We’ve spent decades vilifying public servants for political points and we can’t fill those positions you say?
What's happened is people, in general, are not being promoted on merit any longer, hey?
What are you talking about?
C'mon man, are you so entrenched in education that you can't see the forest for the trees, hey?
Do you want your heart surgeon to be one of the best and brightest or do you want your heart surgeon to merely be a statistic, hey?
You’re in your own little world.
It's absolutely true that blacks are more likely to be victims of police violence. I'm not sure anyone is disputing that.

Two more Memphis cops have been suspended, including a white cop for unnecessarily tasering Nichols.Videos also show numerous officers just standing around and/or milling about, watching their criminal buddies murder an unarmed, non-threatening person.The culture of cops not intervening as their buddies commit heinous crimes against U.S. citizens -- especially people of color -- is alive and well and all part of the systemic racism in policing.
The most disgusting part was the fist bumps congratulating each other for the murder. Even if convicted, they will be getting off easily with the 2nd degree charge. Obviously it can’t be proven, but I believe that these thugs were predators on the prowl who were out that night to “get” someone.
You think they went out that night looking for someone to murder?
It's just part of the job.
Good lord.
