The "best" part of the whole thing is that these kids were busted for "pushing someone to the ground", a serious crime! After these kids were fucked over by the cops, the victim told them that they weren't the kids who assaulted him.
The kids were arrested anyway. Gotta figure out some way to make it a "good collar" I suppose.

Well, they were in the general vicinity and black.
I guess that's probable cause.

This is truly sad turn of events. And as usual it is the collateral damage that is borne by the society as a whole.

Mayor DiBlasio had this to say about the police assassinations:
"When a police officer is murdered, it tears at the foundation of our society," de Blasio said. "It is an attack on all of us. It is an attack on everything we hold dear. We depend on our police to protect us against forces of criminality and evil."
What he says is undeniably true but it's doubly true when it's the police who are murderers. As the mayor says, "We depend on our police" but when they become the "forces of criminality and evil" what are we to do?

I am sure good cops outnumber bad cops 99 to 1 or better. It's the blind support and coverup that we find unacceptable. Do I expect the good cops to take this lying down. No, never. We don't take revenge against the faithful and innocent. So the bad guys better not get caught jaywalking in New York.

I suspect it's more like 20:1. The job is a magnet for maladjusted violent people and the screening process is far from perfect.
I once heard it said that the typical police academy class is pretty much equally divided between people who are highly motivated toward serving the community, people just looking for a job and people who are basically sociopaths and psychopaths.

Had I been attempting to represent those statements as "irrefutable truths", I wouldn't have used the very qualifying statements you clucked your tongue at. Those served to clearly present what I posted as opinion, one mine and the other someone else's.
I see you're still a tiresome old scold.

I assume you are being sarcastic.
