    Gotta say, first time I’ve seen a police group so dedicated to driving home the ACAB messaging.

    Any police organization standing behind what is clearly shown to be an abuse of authority by plainly recorded evidence should be disbanded, as they are clearly more interested in threats to their authority than why they have the authority in the first place.

    Killing and kidnapping citizens is what ACTUALLY makes law enforcement work more dangerous, and yet this letter sure sounds a lot like “stop resisting.” Hmm.

    I don’t “presume innocence” when I see someone shooting someone else in the face. Kind of stupid.

    It doesn’t matter if a judge and jury says so or disagrees, he still shot her in the face while in absolutely no danger.

    He’s guilty, independent of any court ruling, it’s not debatable.

      The fake cop/murdeter gets innocence presumed, but not the innocent woman he executed? Every cop should get what they deserve.

      I mean, they did rush to clear out Jonathan Ross’s home before anyone else could get to it…

    Did this shitty letter come from the GOP HQ in fucking Moscow? If not, the Fraternal Order of Police is fucked in the head.

      They aren’t Russian, nor are they “fucked in the head”, they’re fascists, doing fascist stuff.

    When citizens are accused of a crime, they are given the presumption of innocence as afforded by due process. When there is an incident involving law enforcement, politicians and activists immediately condemn those involved and are scrambling for sound bites.

    Law enforcement officers wield a significant amount of power over civilians, and should be held to a higher level of standard and scrutiny. You know, with great powers comes great responsibilities.

    Maybe one reason why there is systematic condemnation when a law enforcement official is involved in a crime is because the population is increasingly mistrustful because of incompetent officers that tarnishes your profession by acting recklessly and with apparent impunity?

    An important aspect of policing is to defuse and deescalate situations when possible, not make a bad situation worse. This communication does none of that. If you want to regain trust, be the better person and use this tragic event to improve, not double down.

      I found a Breitbart article and an X post from the MNFOP. Still looking for a non-nazi source, but it’s legit. Fucking disgusting pigs. The facts are already out, have been since the start.

      And of course, nothing about all the bald-faced lies coming from Trump or Norm. No calls of restraint to them. These fuckers make me sick.
