It is truly wild how far cops will go to continue being shitty and not bettering themselves. Not surprising or shocking at this point, but just fucking wild.
It's like any kind of scammer, grifter, con artist, etc; at some point they're doing more work than if they actually just did their jobs.
He probably got a promotion.
Usually if they don't announce his termination, he eas reassigned until things blow over.
Spoiler alert: He does.
When police resist reform they give us no choice but abolition.
Yes, our cops have a heavy bias against black people. It's pretty obvious if you swap traffic so stories with black people and non black people. Most of those biases result in more traffic fines, and other citations that are technically against the law, but they usually ignore it if you're not black. Total bullshit, and needs to be addressed.
Them trying to cover it up is a very unsurprising things for our cops to do, with their stupid ass "it's not our fault black people commit more crimes" metality. But considering how I've seen and read about the straight up harassment, abuse, and fatal incidents stared by cops in other states, it could be worse. CT cops are... Well I won't say good... I'd say they're like Walmart floor stockers. They spend more time making it seem like they're doing their job that actually doing it, trying to take as much free shit as they can get away with, and if you ever ask them for help they're too busy.
If they take this finding, fire the offenders, and use it to tighten up on their obvious racial bias, we might have a semi-passable police force.
... I'm sure they won't though.
I have been to a few union jobs. I don't like unions. I hate some of the folks there. They can't be fired unless they do something really stupid. So most end up doing bare minimum.
Blame unions for this garbage.
"Blame" unions for weekends and sick time.
Unions have long outlived their usefulness in the US. In other parts of the world, unions are still very important and seem to be able to operate without turning into pure corrupt bullshit. In the US? Not so much. With money comes corruption and we can't seem to get things right here. Either we have corporate bullshit or union bullshit and neither of them are good for workers or the country as a whole.
A union of guys who are paid to break up protests and strikes doesn't really count as a union, especially when they have guns but most of the elected officials don't.
