This is an example of a good cop. Notice how they are no longer a cop. That’s because they were a good cop. A bad apple spoils the bunch, and cops are bad apples. They have no room for good apples.

If only they had listened to the centuries of everyone telling them that.
Is it really shocking to literally anyone?
shocking? always. surprising? nope.
I think we should gather up all of these former cops that were forced out of their jobs because they tried to be good cops and put them in charge of all police.
Hey, not so fast there. Just because they weren’t cool with bigotry doesn’t mean they weren’t shitty for other reasons. I’d like some vetting before they get back to work. Especially if they’re going to be in charge of anything. 
Still probably a step up from what there is now. I’d be happy with just a “thinks it’s ok to change things about the police even if they don’t want to change”, even if that person had some other problematic beliefs. Being ok with change is the first step to recognizing and getting past problematic beliefs, but it seems like police leadership is instead full of people who mainly think “it’s us vs them” and “When challenged, double down. What are they going to do, call you on your other line to ask you to deal with you?”
You are right though. “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” was always a stupid saying.
I am shocked that anyone thought there wasn’t rampant racism in any police force. And they train black cops to be self hating bigots for a double down on that ideology.
It’s not shocking.

Calling for violence makes us no better than them. Removed.
Killing a Nazi doesn’t make you a Nazi .
And how many subs are you power-modding now?
All the best ones I’ve been invited to, plus 2 empties I asked for. Trying to stoke the fire and bring them to life.
Hate to see a good community wither and die.
