That’s what I’m saying, the politicians protect these bad cops as well as some PD’s themselves. As most of these cops come from demonrat run cities, I know who’s to blame.
Politicians don’t protect the cops. Politicians go with whatever they think the masses want. They read what the public sentiment is, what direction it’s heading in, and then throw themselves out front screaming loudest and proclaiming to be a leader.
That said, they will be for the Iraq war and against it. Support the cops and then not. Call soldiers heroes and then baby killers.
Kerry is a perfect example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yixdveuf0GQ
Now with the public sentiment as it stands (going the other direction), the politicians (including most chiefs of police) are very quick to throw a cop under the bus.
Politicians always want to be on the popular side of an issue.
And none of that will change if we privatize police. It’s not an either or world. Politicians AND police can both be responsible.
