This is good, so I'm posting it.

Most police are good people.

That's not enough if they remain silent in the face of corruption or bad practices. So it is was good that they showed support. This is needed.

Yes, it's good to see that. Thanks for posting, Leon.

Some small part of me dislikes that decent officers are "slandered" by the bad apples, and that they must continually apologize for those apples' presence in the police force.

Still, officers really do need to publicly make statements like this, and I'm glad to see that in this case, they have.

That's a good thing, but it would seem to be a bit late. The City council wants to fire them all.

The City Council is comprised of knee-jerk MOE-rons.

Yup.

I think your opinion is well known, CP. And by knee jerk you mean what, after many years of police abuse and corruption?

You're one of the very few who disputes it.

Perhaps they should have been working on this all along, instead of just going nutso and deciding to DISBAND the police department.

Only in your mind, CP.

What they've done, or tried to do in the past you have no idea of. Remember, the police dept polices itself. And if the city council did this in the past, you would have called it a knee jerk reaction.

My mind actually works!

Actually, I do, because I've read up on it, looked at prior city council notes, etc.

They're EXTREME NUTTERS, Jim, else you wouldn't be defending them. MOE-rons. Leftist nutjobs.
