THE POLICE PROBLEM
The police problem is that police are policed by the police. Cops are accountable only to other cops, which is no accountability at all.
99.9999% of police brutality, corruption, and misconduct is never investigated, never punished, never makes the news, so it's not on this page.
When cops are caught breaking the law, they're investigated by other cops. Details are kept quiet, the officers' names are withheld from public knowledge, and what info is eventually released is only what police choose to release — often nothing at all.
When police are fired — which is all too rare — they leave with 'law enforcement experience' and can easily find work in another police department nearby. It's called "Wandering Cops."
When police testify under oath, they lie so frequently that cops themselves have a joking term for it: "testilying." Yet it's almost unheard of for police to be punished or prosecuted for perjury.
Cops can and do get away with lawlessness, because cops protect other cops. If they don't, they aren't cops for long.
The legal doctrine of "qualified immunity" renders police officers invulnerable to lawsuits for almost anything they do. In practice, getting past 'qualified immunity' is so unlikely, it makes headlines when it happens.
All this is a path to a police state.
In a free society, police must always be under serious and skeptical public oversight, with non-cops and non-cronies in charge, issuing genuine punishment when warranted.
Police who break the law must be prosecuted like anyone else, promptly fired if guilty, and barred from ever working in law-enforcement again.
That's the solution.

There are a lot of NAZI cops in the Pacific Northwest, and they get paid huge amounts for being so.
Prior to fatally shooting Sarey, Nelson killed Isaiah Obet in 2017. Obet was acting erratically, and Nelson ordered his police dog to attack. He then shot Obet in the torso. Obet fell to the ground, and Nelson fired again, fatally shooting Obet in the head. Police said the officer’s life was in danger because Obet was high on drugs and had a knife. The city reached a settlement of $1.25 million with Obet’s family.
In 2011, Nelson fatally shot Brian Scaman, a Vietnam War veteran with mental issues and a history of felonies, after pulling Scaman’s vehicle over for a burned-out headlight. Scaman got out of his car with a knife and refused to drop it; Nelson shot him in the head. An inquest jury cleared Nelson of wrongdoing.
This guy murdered 3 people by shooting them in the head. What, do we have a 3 strikes rule for police murder now? 3 times and you're out?
I think at the moment it's if they're convicted the punishment is a violent death in prison since our prison system is at least as dog shit as any other part of the justice system.
I mean... It's better than the usual infinity strikes rule cops have.
Hm.. seems like someone who is fascinated by Viking and Roman culture.
Show me someone with so called Viking tattoos and I'll show you a Neo-Nazi.
Viking culture isn't exclusive to a specific ethnic or racial group... Kind of weird that you'd associate Viking culture with Neo-Nazis exclusively.
So weird to associate a neo nazi with neo nazi tats
Bro there's an idiot who commented that blood wings is exclusively associated with Nazis lmao..
If you're anglo-saxon and don't even know Viking history, Viking culture, that's your problem.
What's next? Braided hair is exclusive to Black culture? LOL
Bro do you enjoy being terminally downvoted in every comment you make because you're always wrong?
Doesn't matter to me, it's going to catch the attention of many readers. And out of those readers, it will pique their (1, 10, 100 readers) interest and hopefully they take the time to unplug from the simulation you're enslaved to, do their research and realize they've been shaped and molded by degenerates of every kind under the sun.
Stay salty.
You like my salty taste in your mouth don't you ;)
People try to say he's a outlier.
Nah he's just the one who got caught.
Imagine working with this dude and not reporting / exposing this immediately. It says a lot about those working along side him.
Yeah, those are the other eight the tattoo is talking about.
He's been on paid administrative leave since the shooting in 2019.
...
where's my 5 year weekend...
The big red flag for me is the Mjölnir tat with the Orthala rune on his abdomen. Its one of the stranger ways of claiming they have some sort of pure Aryan herratage ethno-nationalists are often fans of using.
To put it another way, this guy is as neo-nazi as they come.
The Spread Eagle, the Nordic helmets, Nordic rune, and the Blood Eagle wings on the back...
The saying on the hands is common to the military, and references how they're going to make a call if something is 50/50. Without knowing if he served I can't judge that. But he's just a civilian then it's pretty screwed up.
If the complete tat is along the lines of: "it's better to be tried by 12 than carried by 8", it's been familiar to law enforcement circles (which circles the drain with ex-military, so not surprising) for a long time. When I was in college in a criminal justice program, several instructors repeated this over and over (except I believe it was "... carried by 6".
I didn't stay in that program, BTW.
It is supposed to be carried by 6. But it's also supposed to reference a war zone. Not policing where upholding the law is the mission.

For fuck's sake these dicks really think they're in some kind of war. That's a military saying, from a place where driving down the street was a roll of the dice and a firefight was a matter of when, not if, every day.
If that's what they think policing is then we really need to just fire them now.
His fat ass needs to be Carried by 8 ppl??? The phrase is carried by 6 This guy is an idiot.
Well, maths is hard. He's a cop, not an engineer.
Motherfucker literally got huge angel wings tattooed on his back. That's some massive guilt compensation.
Along with the other tattoos? Those are blood eagle wings. Common Nazi shit.
Is this one person or two? The hands are clear in uniform but from the back picture you can clearly see a different set of tattoos on the back of the hands.
Yeah that’s a bit strange, the design goes down to his fingers along the outside of the back of the hand in the shirtless photos.
You can see something on the side of his left hand like it was covered in makeup or a temporary tattoo coming off? Very strange.
