LAPD found not liable in death of an officer who was killed in a "training accident" after reporting an alleged gang rape by four fellow officers. NSFW
Fucked up. Sometimes it's hard to understand who these peers in juries are.
Don't censor words when talking about rape on this platform. Those who wish to avoid seeing this content will set up filters to avoid it, and by messing with the word you are exposing them to this content rather than protecting them from it. :)
That headline definitely sounds awful, but considering the specific liability issue in a civil case is a really hard thing for a jury to do. This is why appeals exist.
A good example of how "the only good cop is a dead cop" is often descriptive rather than prescriptive; they tried to be a good cop, and would you look at that, now they're dead

Fired, transferred, or underground. Interesting that’s always the case.

How many good cops does it take to change a light bulb?

Invalid question, multiplicand is 0.

Sorry but the correct answer was "I don't know, I'll tell you when a good cop changes anything!"

That's a photo, not an article

Actually it's a crosspost, and the article is linked in the original post.

Then don't do that. Link to articles.

Why don't you go act like a cop somewhere else? Maybe instead of policing people's Lemmy behavior you should, idk, do something useful with your time?
Lemmy supports crossposting. If you don't like it, go take it up with the devs?

It's all of our jobs to prevent the spread of misinformation.
It's not acting like a cop to be a good anarchist..
