Transparency if it suits them.

Andrew Brown's killing by 7 N.C. cops was recorded by body cameras. The criminal-industrial complex is working hard to suppress the video's release.

How cops lie: Derek Chauvin and the Minneapolis Police Department.

When Derek Chauvin murdered Mr. George Floyd on Memorial Day, 2020, the first public statement made by the Minneapolis Police Department was an official lie. Naturally, that lie made cops out to be 'just doing their duty,' and George Floyd as an 'unfortunate' victim of a coincidental "medical incident" that, they implied, he brought on …

Cop unions paid for Derek Chauvin’s defense attorney.

Despite a supposed "condemnation" of him last summer. Excerpted from "After Chauvin Conviction, Police Consensus On Reform Remains Elusive," National Public Radio, April 22, 2021: The Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis, the union that represents officers in the Minneapolis Police Department, last summer disavowed once-member Derek Chauvin. The union has also resisted police reforms at the …

This is just the beginning. Now it gets even tougher.

Derek Chauvin: Minneapolis Cop and Convicted Murderer.

Look into this cop's eyes, and tell me he has a soul. One criminal cop taken down is no solution to the problem. But it's a start. And a bit of retribution. And I'll take both of those.

Good news: a dirty dozen resign.

Any time a dozen union cops band together and resign their duties (if not their jobs), something's probably going in the right direction for good change. And, if you can believe the union spokesperson for the Albuquerque cops (I don't), some 20 of the city's "finest" have left the department over the past two months …

Eight years to fire a bad cop.

Thank a cop union. While we're on the subject of Chicago cops, take a look at this next story: a Cook County sheriff's officer resigned under pressure for sexually harassing a colleague in 2013!!! It took eight years to fire this pig's blue ass, and all that time he was collecting pay from the taxpayers. …

When prosecutors get cozy with cops.
