\"\"CopBlock.org<\/a> | Over and over, responses to my articles involve some kind of criticism about my biased indictment of police, and overzealous willingness to imply corruption, dishonesty and conspiracy. In particular, I am reminded again and again that police work hard, were \u201chand picked\u201d for being upstanding people, and I should really walk a day in their shoes before I open my big mouth.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s why they are wrong.<\/p>\n

First, I don\u2019t need to walk a day in anyone\u2019s shoes, feel empathy, or see things from someone else\u2019s perspective to determine whether something is right or wrong. I don\u2019t need to do a day on the job with a badge to know that torture, violence and murder are wrong. The easiest example of all \u2013 clearly, one needn\u2019t be a Nazi or work as a Gestapo for a day to know that racism, violence and genocide are wrong. And more moderate examples \u2013 one needn\u2019t ingest cyanide to know it will kill you, one needn\u2019t be punched to know that it\u2019s painful (for all of you irksome folk who like to inappropriately call Godwin\u2019s law<\/a> because you know your logic failed, and you don\u2019t have a legitimate response).<\/p>\n

Second, police engage in corruption, lies, coverups and dishonesty all the time. Recently, Lieutenant Jon Burge<\/a> was found to have been involved in torture and forced confessions of suspects for decades, with the help (or at least, very convenient apathy and selective attention) of prosecutors and fellow police officers.<\/p>\n

In May of 2009, Derrick Donchak, 19, and Brandon Piekarsky, 17, were among a group of men who brutally beat and killed an immigrant, Luis Ramirez. The fight ended with Ramirez convulsing in the street and foaming from the mouth. Three police officers, one of whom was dating Piekarsky\u2019s mother, helped cover up evidence. The other two officers who helped orchestrate a coverup were higher ranking officers.<\/p>\n

Another officer, Marcus Jackson<\/a>, apparently had been molesting or sexually assaulting women on numerous occasions, while facing no recourse. In fact, on one occasion, someone who tried to intervene and defend the victim was charged with crimes<\/a>. Most recently, a victim\u2019s boyfriend called 911 while Jackson was assaulting the victim, and 911 ignored the call. The victim and the boyfriend were both arrested, and the boyfriend is now facing deportation.<\/p>\n

In another instance of repulsive police loyalty, a detective was shunned and forced to quit his job early for exposing police abuses. Detective Max Seifert exposed the truth<\/a> about a man who was beaten by a DEA agent and charged with a crime after he wouldn\u2019t let the DEA agent, who was driving an unmarked car, pass him on the right side of the road. Barron Bowling was beaten unconscious by DEA agent, Timothy McCue. Bowling was then arrested.<\/p>\n

Officers at the scene of the incident did not document or photograph Mr. Bowling\u2019s injuries or witness statements. In fact, one officer Robert Lane told Mr. Bowling he was going to jail because DEA agents \u201cdo pretty much whatever they want.\u201d<\/p>\n

These are just the latest instances of police lies, conspiracy and clandestine crimes that I could name immediately off the top of my head. I literally jotted this list down within 7 seconds, and stopped at example 4 because I didn\u2019t feel it necessary to beat a dead horse. Read Entire Article<\/a><\/p>\n
