The majority of cops are good people who want to help their fellow citizens.
Unfortunately, the nature of the job means those who take advantage of their position do more damage than other jackasses in the general population.
I'm glad the good cops are starting to feel like they can stand up for what they believe in and not be as afraid of retaliation from higher up.
I'd like this to be the start of something big in this country but Wisconsin was supposed to be something big and it died out and Michigan was supposed to be something big and what happened there?
Give it a few months and see if other cities (like I don't know, SEATTLE) decide to get into the game. If it doesn't become wide spread the corporate state will be unharmed.
When more 'normal' people start starving, dying of easily preventable medical problems, sleeping in cars and under bridges, then things -might- start changing. As long as the teabag wingnuts do not totally take over. If they do, it will get really ugly.
