Given the incident cited the LOE's involved should be allowed due process. Our criminal legal system is based on a presumption of innocence and not a preponderance of evidence. This legal process protects all citizens of all colors and all occupations. The thin blue line is no different than the silence one finds within the medical community or legal profession...its basic human instinct not to want to tell on others.

If this incident is true than hopefully those LOE's responsible will be punished accordingly.

I believe it is not that these bad cops treat only blacks badly, I believe they treat many in the same manner. Look at what happens with the mentally ill these bad cops can only respond one way.

As to the rest of the story we don't know exactly what took place here but it does need a thorough investigation.

Finally being a cop is a difficult job dealing with the dregs of society and people who show disdain for the badge because they cannot accept authority of any kind.

If people of color believe that discrimination is rampant in the law enforcement field they would be wise to work within the system because rioting in the streets bodes poorly for their imagine . I see people of color on TV who are adept lawyers, professionals etc who are a good resource for working out any societal problems the black community believe exists

However black white pink you are never going to do away with a bad cop who treats all citizens badly because they either come with a hidden bad attitude or develop one as they deal with society .
