Been following the trial for the police corruption ring in Baltimore. Pretty crazy stuff.

QuoteBaltimore Cops Carried Toy Guns to Plant on People They Shot, Trial Reveals


This kind of stuff makes the cops worse than the gangs in the neighborhood. Really rips apart the whole city when there's no trust.

That's some f'd up stuff.

The distain, disgust and fear I have of US law enforcement just isn't right. No one should have such negative thoughts towards the people that we pay to serve and protect us.

one of the problems is that there are plenty of good cops around but they all get painted with the same brush
"toss away stuff you don't need in the end
but keep what's important, and know who's your friend"
"It's a 106 miles to Chicago. We got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses."

This.
And it's so shitty that these types of people have tarnished the position these guys risk their lives for.
Everything is connected, because it's all being created by this one consciousness. And we are tiny reflections of the mind that is creating the universe.

...and that the only strong unions left in this country that have any public sway are the ones obligated to protect the bad apples along with the good.
