re: Iberia Parish Sheriff: handcuffed man in cop car shot himself: 8/21 update

That snippet from that article is just sad, and it only begins to identify the problem. People like Displaced and DanTiger and such can try to make claims that the blue wall doesnt exist or that cops dont get preferrential treatment when they get busted (LSP trooper in BR for example) but deep down they know damn well its the truth, they just put on a front for us common folk.

I'm not saying every cop is shitty, I'm not saying that every dept is shitty, what I am saying however, is that nonshitty cops can't report shitty cops bc then they become a target for all the other ones. They get labeled, nobody wants to work with them or trust them, or maybe like in a friend of mines case the lower guys still did/do respect him but the higher ups hate him now b/c he didnt play ball so now he will never make Lt. Law enforcement, esp in small depts is damn near more about politics than anything else.

Believe what you want man, if I wasnt at work I'd scan my academy diploma and various other training certs (with certain info redacted of course), might even find my little wallet badge and my intoxilyzer card too.
