Reply to comment by [deleted] in Grudges, tribalism, and infighting rife in Pa. borough that hired the cop who killed Tamir Rice by CltAltAcctDel

What makes you think they didn't know? Yes I read the article--said they did a background check after interviewing so there's no way they didn't know.

They knew, article says he referenced the incident. Sounds like there weren’t too many applicants. Hope he does a good job

Huh? The article said they interviewed several candidates and had a final three.

Hope he does a good job??? The man is a murderer. He should not be a cop.

Thought they had 3 candidates and 1 dropped out. Gotta wonder about the qualifications of anyone else they talked to. Let’s face it, it’s probably not a real desirable gig. He was involved in an unfortunate officer involved shooting and no charges were pressed against him. Don’t you believe in the judicial process?

When it comes to cops being held accountable, no I do not believe they face the same justice and you and I would. That's been demonstrated time and time again though hopefully that's now changing.

You and I also don’t face guns pulled on us routinely as part of our jobs. Many police do. I have a lot more respect for cops than you do.

Maybe they should receive more than a couple months of training and not just let any idiot become a cop. We should hold them to as high of standards as soldiers. Not shrug our shoulders at the issues and think them being scared of guns is any kind of excuse.
