In my book and cop who isn’t actively opposing the bad cops, actively trying to get the bad cops off the force is one of the bad cops.

There are a LOT of good cops in this country who each and every day go about their job protecting people and property in a responsible, professional, legal manner.

It is the lousy cops that get the attention in the media.

There is no profession that can say that all of its members are perfect little angels.

“Why would they lie?”

Because when you are a cop, that’s what you do.

I was arguing this same point with someone last night.

I grew up in Baltimore, worked in the area that was burned last night, and never saw anyone that was selling a true “switchblade.” That doesn’t mean that they weren’t available, but rather they were not easily available.

The pcurrent Baltimore with whom I was speaking said that if the police wrote on the arrest papers that Gray had a switchblade, he had a switchblade. “Why would they lie?” she asked.

“Why did they lie and say that Gray was arrested without physical altercation when the video shows them picking him up off the street?”

The Baltimore Police Department needs to be “blown up” (disbanded) and then reconstructed from the ground up. There is too much history there for anyone to trust them anymore.
