Antioch and Pittsburg police officers arrested by FBI

A sweeping investigation began in early 2022 as a narrow probe into officers who allegedly cheated on college tests to obtain salary raises. FBI agents dug into the cheating scandal and opened a “Pandora’s Box” of unethical and criminal behavior among officers, a source told KRON4.

Whah? Crooked cops? Really? I'm in complete disbelief.

Absolutely shocking I say! Shocking! Between this and the vapors I dare say my constitution is in tatters.

Ravaging to the constitution, indeed. I've already fainted thrice just since reading the headline!

Oh my. This is close to where I live. The most corrupt thing I know about Antioch police is that they arrested a dude for eating a sandwich at the train station (BART.) But I don't doubt they may be doing more than selling steroids (as the article says).

Cops: we’re professionals.

People: professional what?

Cops: ….

The officers had no interest in de-escalating to avoid violence. They collected as mementos spent ammunition from their attacks on the people of Antioch. They tried to escape scrutiny by failing to submit truthful reports or use their body-worn cameras. The damage done to public trust cannot easily be calculated,” Ramsey said.

These fuckhesds were literal terrorists on the public, I hope they feed these fuckers to the general prison population, they deserve any beating they get.

Am from the California Bay Area. Not even surprised. There's also been news of local police failing psych exams during on-boarding and still getting hired. Uncovered during a state audit. There are all kinds of pandora's boxes out there — just have to look.
