57 Buffalo officers resign from Emergency Response Team after two cops suspended | TheHill
I think a cop who quits a squad for a reason like this is a bad cop. Quitting in solidarity with brutality makes you a bad cop. If most cops are good cops, what insane coincidence put fifty-seven bad cops into the same unit?
We keep trying to tell ourselves this is just a few bad apples. I think we need to accept the fact that this just isn't true. The good cops have been either intimidate into silence or driven off the force entirely.
Every last cop on that squad resigned. (from the squad, not the police force) They didn't resign in outrage over the treatment of that old man. They resigned because those two ****head cops got disciplined for their actions. ALL OF THEM. Every cop on the squad.The entire Buffalo Police Department Emergency Response Team has resigned after the department suspended two officers without pay when a video surfaced showing them pushing over a 75-year-old protester.
