13. Seems like the abuse and bully wing of the FOP won...

Have several friends in law enforcement. They all tell me the same thing.

Law enforcement fall roughly equally into three categories.
1. To protect and serve ....they believe that and act on it. These are good people.

2. To work 20, 25, or 30 and out and get a paycheck and then a pension They follow the rules. They don't want to risk losing a job with good benefits and a good pension that allows for a second career. Usually, these are decent people just trying to do their jobs.

3. To bully and abuse...these were bullied (often jocks) in high school who bullied kids and liked the feeling of power. These are bad people. I had one neighbor who was this kind of cop. Everyone knew it. These are kind who are happy that there are white supremacists infiltrating the ranks. They slow walk investigations into 'their kind of people ' they would delete their texts after Jan 6 and count on their brothers to let them get away with it.

The two thirds of decent and good people who are cops allow the bad third to run rough shod.

Sad that the bullies win.
