Reply to comment by CAPSLOCKCHAMP in 11 current and former East Cleveland police officers indicted after ‘appalling’ behavior caught on video, prosecutor says by AudibleNod

I’m from Cleveland… nothing is going to happen to those cops. Even if they are fired they’ll be replaced by someone who does the same thing. The police have their own rules here, they themselves are a gang.

I lived in Oakland. When we first got here the cops were literally passing around an underage prostitute https://www.cnn.com/2016/06/24/us/oakland-police-scandals/index.html

Unfortunately we also have the opposite happening to good oversight. We have an unelected committee firing good chiefs because they won’t erase their parking tickets. It’s like the fucking Wire over here https://oaklandside.org/2022/05/18/ex-oakland-police-chiefs-trial-revisits-bitter-conflicts-among-city-officials/

You say "here" as though that's not true in every police department, though.
