    I'm not sure how the rank and file feel about him honestly. @BehindBlueI's or @Denny347 may be able to shed more light on that. In Indy, the problem doesn't seem to be with the police. The problem is with the prosecutor Mears.

    He seems like a nice enough guy when I have occasion to interact with him. I wouldn't want his job.

    Sorry, can’t really tell about that one. Those look like ladies frames to me.
    Funny. You peeked my interest, so I looked up the top 7
    Of the top 5, only NY has a female, and she is black.
    LA - white guy
    Chicago - Black guy
    Houston - Hispanic guy
    Phoenix - White guy
    Philadelphia - Black Female

    All five were post-2016 hires. They come from the age of woke hiring practices and anti-racist policing. None of them were grizzled old racists from the before time, they're products of the current ideology.
    Spot on.


    This incident is the epitome of wokism destroying everything it touches. And and as secondary and sad consideration, this is ultimately what the defunders want. They want the new generation/iteration of law enforcement to be uneducated, unsophisticated, easily manipulated brutes who will follow orders from the most powerful, not necessarily in accordance with the Constitution.

    I hope they throw the book at these guys I absolutely hate bad cops.

    I wouldn’t call them a cop or officer in any means. Do you think any one of them would have done this act if they were alone 1 on 1?
    Nope. Cowards act in groups. Thugs act in groups.

    The timing of the release of the video is suspect to me.
    Late afternoon/early evening, just before dark, on a Friday evening...
    That sounds like they were trying their best to set the conditions for unrest, and then fomenting it on the evening news.
    Really, if you're seriously worried about a riot, why not wait and release the video on Monday morning at 10:30 or so, when everyone is at work or in school.
    No, they intentionally released it at the worst possible time.
    Glad to see not much happened, but it sure seems to me like someone in authority was rooting for unrest.
    You honestly believe that most that riot are gainfully employed?

    Having lived through the Rodney King Riot, looting and arson begins about 2PM or so. It continues to about 2AM to 4AM until the looters are too exhausted and too drunk to continue. Among the first things looted are liquor plus arms and ammunition. They sleep it off and repeat the next day. Looters taking casualties from the Koreans defending their stores from their rooftops using interlocking fire put a quick stop to it in that section of South-Central L.A. Many of them were (legal) immigrants who had served in the Korean Army.

    Victim was known to the police. Unlike other victims who just turned their life around and were about to enter college, this victim was about to become the nation’s, if not the world‘s worst mass murderer. Look at all the lives these fine and thorough officers saved! Purple if you wish.

    i Would be curious as to how they knew him. FNC has been holding him up as possibly the greatest young man in town.
