California tax-payers pay $20 million dollars to ensure state thugs can continue to paralyse their fellow citizens
‘State’ thugs is a strong term. Most police departments, by statements and actions, don’t give a shit about what the government wants from them, except when it coincides with their ability to brutalize citizens with impunity.
Not that this isnt a major national issu, but I briefly worked with an ex-cop from Sacramento. Decent guy.
The stories he told at the tail-end of happy hour were enough to turn your hair white.
He didn’t quit that job. He fled in abject horror.
Any “good cop” that isn’t an ex-cop is complicit. Your co-worker did the right thing.
