The Phoenix Police Department released a video on March 8 showing two officers coming across a man who was sitting outside a bank with no shoes or socks.

Back about 20 years ago when I was doing advocacy work for the homeless, I was going into a store and saw a cop talking to a homeless woman wrapped in a blanket just outside the store entrance.
At the time, we were getting a few reports of cops in Modesto fucking with the homeless and even though I was in Ceres, I kept an eye on it without trying to be too obvious.
After a minute, the homeless woman got up and walked across the parking lot towards a fast food place while the cop got in his car and slowly followed her.
When I left the store, I wandered over that way and found the cop not only bought her a meal but he was sitting with her eating his lunch.
Ya know its sad... because these people don't get the press and coverage. The scumbags that shouldn't even be on the force get wall to wall coverage.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see the police, and specifically their unions, do a better job of policing their ranks, instead of protecting and defending the bad apples.
Have those two cops been put in the January 6 prison yet with the rest of the insurrectionists?
ReplyDeleteDefund the police.
😂😊😎😇😉
Awesome story to start a new day. Thank you.
Very good police officers.
ReplyDeleteCops act like decent human beings and it is a news story.
ReplyDeleteI used to pick up hitchhikers on a regular basis. A few were homeless or one step away. Something they nearly all needed was someone to listen to them.
ReplyDeleteI figure that the % of cops who are decent is about equal to the % of non cops who are decent. Putting on a badge doesn't change someone's character. It might magnify what character they have, but it won't change a good person to a bad one, nor a bad person to a good one.
ReplyDeleteThe nature of the job attracts the very kind of people that shouldn't be cops in the first place. There's no quicker way to your own mini-dictatorship than with a badge and a gun. I would guess over time the job has a tendency to change a good person to a jaded one. Not necessarily bad but definitely jaded. Some of the bad ones may have a come to God moment but probably not many.
