Defense attorneys are salivating at the news.

I wonder if they’ve released the names of the cops.

Your bias is showing, how sad. Who are these “researchers” what proof is there that they “glorified police brutality”? Have these officers been convicted of this? Didn’t think so. Also “right wing militia groups”? This research group sounds like a SJW hit squad to me.


Oh, MY bias is showing, is it?

They had to this

Any time a Muslim would be on trial their defense attorney would bring these posts up in cross of the policemen

The better question is if it was a Muslim working at XYZ corporation and he posted glorifying violence against people, should he be allowed to keep his job?

Defense Attorney: The fact you posted on TD about Muslims is the reason you arrested my client now isn't it? Not the fact that when you arrived on the scene my client was covered in blood, knife in one hand, pistol in the other, wearing a suicide vest of explosives, and shouting Aloha Snackbar while standing amidst the bodies found at the scene!

Who funded this “team of researchers”?

if you are dumb enough to post this type of stuff on FB, then you probably shouldn't be a cop, or anyone in a position of authority

Should FB posts made when off duty be held against officers when they come to work?

I haven't read the posts, so I don't know how severe they are, or if they are actually racist. But, if your general question is "should racists be allowed to be police officers?", I would say no.

This stands out to me the most. The fact that there are people who literally have nothing better to do than to troll through years of Facebook posts is ridiculous.

And in this case, especially if its glorifying police brutality like it says


Depends on their definition of Police Brutality.

I’m against police brutality in any form but defending the police involved with Michael Brown or Alton Sterling ain’t it.

I would think any sort of glorification would not go over so well. You cant give someone an edge like that. It's just dumb.

The same innocent until proven guilty you're showing the researchers? That concept doesnt even apply here in the 1st place.
