This wasn't done just because the guy was black. It may have been a factor but its definitely not the only reason and certainly not the top reason.
Racist cops I've known about called it "NBC".
(ni**er be cool!)
Remember, I was a news camera guy, I've been around tons of cops, EMS, etc...
So, that's what I am referring to.
I didn't say it was the only factor, but it appears to be a factor.
I didn't say it was JUST because he's black but, in the parlance of the industry, NBC.
These guys ****ed up, they know they ****ed up, so they are doing underhanded douchebaggery to try to minimize the pain from the **** up.
Yeah, in addition to other douchebaggery like "testalying"...lying in one's testimony.
In one. I had money, that's not the problem it's the time. You have to be available which in many ways is worse than the money aspect.
I will be donating to the guys gofundme if he gets one up. I hate crooked cops.
In all honesty they are relatively few and far between. I know from experience.
What I've encountered more often than not is CYNICAL cops, who just don't give a **** anymore and they know their tenure with the police union means they don't have to worry about being a douchebag.
It really is the police unions more than anything else, and I am saying that as a pro-union guy, but police unions are protecting bad cops the way the auto worker unions used to protect horrible auto workers, like back in the days when they'd toss a beer bottle in the door with a note like "noisy ain't it?" and other nonsense.
Look, if it's a racist cops, it's NBC...if they're not racist, it's straight douchebaggery.
I lived in the Deep South for thirteen years. I can tell the difference.
