This is what policing is and always has been. You’re just hearing about it now.

I worked at a middle school in an expensive DC suburb (Virginia) recently. These brawls were everyday occurrences. Security would break them up again and again, and kids would walk down the hall crying or bloody. Rarely did anyone get in trouble. Shocking, actually.

When good cops give bad cops a pass, they’re all bad cops.

good cops get fired if they stop the bad cops or report them.

even in Copaganda shows, they're all open about the fact that they all HATE internal affairs cops. Its so ingrained that Copaganda doesnt even fight that image, the tv shows just roll with.

More likely a bunch of degenerates stomping on him.

Protectin’ and servin’.

Oh, honey...as a high school teacher, this shit is just another Tuesday.

So Gestapo hiring unethical people. Sounds like DeSatan.

>"The real victim here was the entire city, all the citizens of East Cleveland, who had to live in a city with fear. To do everyday chores, to get simply pulled over and the fear of what may happen when they were simply pulled over or perhaps confronted while walking the streets. And it’s hard for me to imagine what they’ve had to endure," O'Malley said.

I might be dim, but I believe the dude getting curb stomped by 11 officers is probably the real victim.

This is an alternative high school which means that probably nearly all of the students have criminal records before coming here.

In fairness though, Ohio as a whole seems to be fighting Wisconsin to be the Florida of the Midwest.

Where we used to live there was a big brawl once, or the beginnings of one, where there were maybe 30 kids gathered outside the house next door and a girl beating on the door to the house, yelling about how someone had disrespected her (or her cousin? I can't remember). Cops showed up, everybody started getting real belligerent, and come to find out the girl who was trying to start the whole thing had been driven there by her mother. Who was also screaming about disrespect. She kept yelling at the cops and pointing at the house like she expected them to just be like "ok then, yes you're right ma'am, she disrespected someone so we should totally let all these kids start fighting."

The ones standing around doing nothing are the “good” cops

I know 5 people who became COs in their late 20s. 1 is a really decent guy. The other 4 belong on the other side of the bars, but they happened to never get caught doing their illegal bullshit (drug dealing, robbery, assault).

Edit: I should specify that the illegal bullshit (that I know about) happened prior to becoming COs.

East Cleveland accounted for a large portion of the third season of Serial. Well worth the listen.

My bully apologized and then died of a stroke a week later in her early twenties. That was confusing emotionally but I suppose that’s what happens when you walk around with so much hate in your heart all the time. Sometimes I think she only apologized because she had some prophetic guilt
