Absolutely shocking I say! Shocking! Between this and the vapors I dare say my constitution is in tatters.
Ravaging to the constitution, indeed. I've already fainted thrice just since reading the headline!
Good! Now do all the other police departments around the country that do shit like this
That's every single one.
Oh my. This is close to where I live. The most corrupt thing I know about Antioch police is that they arrested a dude for eating a sandwich at the train station (BART.) But I don't doubt they may be doing more than selling steroids (as the article says).
Cops: we’re professionals.
People: professional what?
Cops: ….
People: professional what?
The officers had no interest in de-escalating to avoid violence. They collected as mementos spent ammunition from their attacks on the people of Antioch. They tried to escape scrutiny by failing to submit truthful reports or use their body-worn cameras. The damage done to public trust cannot easily be calculated,” Ramsey said.
These fuckhesds were literal terrorists on the public, I hope they feed these fuckers to the general prison population, they deserve any beating they get.
Am from the California Bay Area. Not even surprised. There's also been news of local police failing psych exams during on-boarding and still getting hired. Uncovered during a state audit. There are all kinds of pandora's boxes out there — just have to look.
