This article not only proves that cops prey on the poor, it proves that they’re all in on it. Earlier I said 60% of cops are bad…my mistake, should be closer to 90%.
“Allegedly”?
Welcome to TPMZ.
Really bad writing seems to be the norm on TPM
I’m in MA so I have to throw in this:
It’s somehow Deval Patrick’s fault too.
Many on the local sites can’t separate POTUS from the MA governor, that friendship sets them off to such extremes.
To be fair there are different catagories of cops. There are “killer cops” and “Boner Rapist Cops”. Don’t confuse them, protesters.
When I worked in NYC in the mid 1970s I heard cops bragging about getting free oral from prostitutes for not busting them. It was considered a perk.
It seems this officer has history…
You must be new here. That has been the norm for years.
I’ll miss the body cam video on this one.
So email Mr. Marshall and lobby for a Copy Editor.
Or just keep pissing into the wind.
Choose wisely.
Well, now we know how all those investigations by Internal Affairs, the five lieutenants’ panel, and even the FBI turned out, because David Kattner has stayed on patrol for all these years. No telling how many more lives he has ruined in the past 7 years.
What’s especially horrible is that this whole sordid affair is not even newsworthy. It’s SOP. And it’s not just a local problem, it has gone mainstream worldwide through our past president allowing torture and justifying the brutality through some not-even-clever writing by his Justice Department.
And now, through the Bush/Cheeney World War on Muslims, these local police are equipped just like the military and wear storm trooper costumes, meant for one thing only; intimidation.
Hitler would be so proud of us.
Emailing Marshall IS pissing in the wind. He offends easily, and frankly my dear, he doesn’t give a damn.
It’s always “alleged” until you are convicted. He was arrested and jailed, which is not a good sign. If he gets to court and is convicted, that is when it is no longer alleged. News organizations can be sued if they don’t use that word before conviction.
Do you wonder that often?
Why are we getting reports on the typical, everyday police log reports? I mean ‘allegedly’ typical everyday police activity reports.
Rudy Giuliani has already blamed the assault on President Obama, Eric Holder, Reverend Al Sharpton, and the late Molly Ivins.
And don’t forget the mastermind, Reverend Al.
The way it works: Reverend Al decides, alone with no oversight or appeal, who lives and dies in Whitey America. Then he issues decrees to his Kenyan lackey in the White House. Next thing, some poor unsuspecting white law enforcement officer finds his johnson entrapped somewhere in the vicinity of the oral area and/or person of a female suspect not of the caucasian persuasion.
Or Obama’s or both. plus, let us not forget holder, it’s always his fault too.
Oh right that shifty little weasel Rev Al who always advocates peaceful protest. What a monster that civil rights activist is, kind of like MLK & Gandhi. Yeah, they’re horrible.
No way is it 90.
We can’t start stereotyping cops too the same way we complain about them stereotyping the innocent pubic at large and especially minorities.
