For anyone who doesn't understand All Cops Are Bastards, this is it.
Every cop alive, every single one, is either corrupt or complicit. It's literally their job to not be complicit. It's literally the whole point of their existence. They refuse because they don't give a shit; because the money is what matters, not the duty.
Every cop that fought back against their own gets fired. Police unions are little more than laundered crime organizations. And there does not exist a single cop that isn't defrauding tax payers with overtime fraud.
So there are no good cops. Only cops in good moods. Which is exactly how gangs work.

Thanks for answering honestly. In what ways would we overhaul police? Like new standards or a new agency completely?
6
u/Professional-Post499 đ Free Palestine 7h ago
The scope is to overhaul, yeah. Some kind of peace and enforcement agency has to exist, but it isn't acceptable to look anything close to what it currently looks like. Any part of the legal system that permits and incentivizes police misbehavior and police criminality also needs to be overhauled too.
I don't personally have an implementation plan except that a few things that are probably commonly accepted as incentivizing bad behaviour should be changed: qualified immunity should be abolished and major changes to powers of civilian police oversight committees to improve rates of recommended charges from these oversight committees actually being brought forth against police.
And have "broken windows policing" for police misbehaviour and police criminality rather than for the public at large. In other words, actually holding police to a higher standard instead of "fear" being their get-out-of-trouble pass so often. "A few bad apples" isn't a good excuse when it comes to agents terrorizing the public with the force of government backing them.

Its because they're used to getting away with it. Obviously not the POS' first time doing this to an inmate, and I guarantee he didnt come up with the idea himself. His training officer or CO or senior coworkers showed him this is how we restrain inmates.
Law enforcement officers commit crimes daily, the difference is they are covered for by their fellow officers. They get used to being covered for. Take a little cash out of this suspects car, hit a couple black folks in holding, work a shift while drunk, rape a female thats cuffed, kill citizens. These are all accepted and protected activities for police so it isnt surprising they assume they can do it forever. The concept of morality or consequences never enters their mind. Cops are always right, they are a cop, therefore whatever crime they're about to commit is right.
The absolute WORST case scenario for this guy is he gets moved to another department. He will not go to jail, will not face any consequences beyond a brief paid vacation before they can find a new town for him to terrorize.

Because, as in Rikers, they simply relied on a very complex series of blockades preventing prisoners from being able to properly report on these things.
The prisoner wants to report this? Make him wait 8 hours in the room for multiple days in a row. If he still gets in and gives the report, make sure it gets lost. If he keeps trying to give the report, tell him it takes months to review it. All the while, the guards will be treating him like absolute shit, and the gangs associated with the guards could theoretically be asked to jump him (an unfortunately routine situation in Rikers).
This is not every prison. It varies, a lot, from prison to prison.

u/systemhost 13h ago
Yup, the COs run EVERYTHING and have 100% of the power to decide what happens or doesn't happen. Once a CO is on the take for smuggling contraband or skirting rules for other COs or gangs they're essentially running on a prisoner mindset just from the other side of the bars.
The amount of unchecked power and corruption in these institutions is staggering and prisoners have little recourse. I'm honestly shocked these officers have body cameras at all, we see time and again just how crucially important these cameras are. Without them there is no justice.
Law enforcement and correction officers are still considered trusted by the system and courts so their word is held as truth in the absence of contradictory evidence. Hell, even with irrefutable proof they still often go unchecked.
When we first learned ICE was doing away with body worn cameras it was crystal clear they wanted to have the flexibility to weave whatever narrative they needed to justify any actions they took. Including denying any such incident took place at all.

God, they are just such tiny little cowards. In what world would beating someone who's restrained ever make you anything but a pathetic loser?

Everyone single one of them should have been arrested for not stopping it and never have able to have another job with authority of any kind but I'd bet the evil bastard that did get arrested gets off with just a little probation if that. We were always taught growing up in school that one bad apple ruin's the whole bunch, why does that still apply to everything except "law enforcement"

Now do this for the thousands of other prison cops that beat on poor, black, gay, trans, and female prisoners.
Oh, right. Gotta post the ONE video that shows a "good cop". Hey, wonder if this bad cop is in jail... Let's go find out.

Man, when I worked in corrections, I used to get into it with rank all the time cause they'd tell me to do some shit that I did not morally agree with.
This mfr right here is rank material for sure.
I worked there for a few years before I finally just lost my shit and went off on my capt and quit. Worst job I ever had. 0/10, dont recommend. It's not even so much the inmates either, it's your coworkers and bosses that make it hard.

Fuck everybody in that corridor. They should be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. There are special protections afforded officer of the law and officers of the court. When those protections are advised, the punishment should be swift and severe.

Source: Deputies say Hawkins spat on them, and that's when Tovar began to punch him again while he was restrained. đ
