Dudw Shot 60 Times (at least) For Driving Poorly

Yeppers. People can't seem to realize the Brady List came about in the late 1960's. None of this is new. All that is new is officers being held accountable for their actions as they can no longer cover it up thanks to video evidence.

 

Didn't need to google it. My point was it DID make national news. I knew about it when it happened. Just because someone didn't, doesn't mean it wasn't national news.

 

So one person embezzling. The whole company should be arrested and blamed. Gotcha.

 

That article was 2020 not 2018. From an obscure corner of the npr website. If you weren't in Florida in 2018 you didn't hear about.

 

110 by Watts, 67 by Zachery Webster, 7 by Camilio Antonio, Omar Abdullah 5, and the list goes on. And that's just wrongful felony convictions. We haven't started talking about cases that are dropped due to misconduct or towns like Brookside, AL that are policing for profit.

All just "exceptions"?

 

So 4 bad officers out of thousands. Yup. Exception not rule.

 

Let's take a look At Ronald Watts, with 110 over turned convictions. How many of his subordinates knew about his activities? How many acted in a similar manner? How many of his superiors knew about the allegations and shielded him from repercussions? How many DAs knew the evidence was fabricated? How many judges blindly went along? Conservatively 40 officers aided and abetted his misconduct.

And what happened to the officers who spoke up? Demoted and ostracized.

If a cop gets caught lying under oath in court, they might get fired but not charged with perjury. If they are caught before court, a slap on the wrist.

 

Again let's talk about the real number. It was 1 bad apple. Period.

Tell you what. Since you think all cops are bad. Next time you're victim of a crime. Don't call them.

 

Why is it that when a certain color of individual does something and get shot for it is there uproar but when it happens to another color it’s deafening silence? Frankly I don’t give a rats behind what color a person is they can be blue pink brown green yellow for all I care if you raise a gun or any other weapon in a threatening manner to a police officer and even a law abiding citizen you absolutely unequivocally face the consequences of possibly getting shot and killed and have nobody to blame but themselves… To keep using this narrative that somebody get shot because of their skin color is a bunch of unadulterated BS

 

1 bad apple that was tolerated and protected by 40 and allowed to terrorize a neighborhood for a decade.

And you've hit on a big reason for crime in low income areas - residents don't trust the police so they don't call or talk to the police.
