Unless they resign from the force and give up their jobs, this is a meaningless gesture.

Fuck those police.

Getting 59 shitty cops off the beat in one fell swoop seems like a win.

@Doug they're still on the force, they're still getting paid. They just resigned from the riot squad. Like I said, a meaningless gesture.

It just so happens we're looking for a few good men to serve aboard Space Ball 1.

Good riddance. This is why cops are no good. Instead of demanding their colleagues who are violent thugs and shoved that old man to the ground and cracked his head open like an egg, they quit in a hissy fit. Fucking typical white male / cop bullshit.

Whoever wrote that headline must know that people reading it will assume that the 57 officers resigned from the police force, which is not the case. So - why?

@10 tweaked to make it a little clearer

Yeah I thought they all resigned. And I am certain orders did not include doing what they did. They walked right by him and let him bleed not giving a shit. If he had been black they would have finished him off. They are all Nazi fucks and they all need to no longer be cops.

sounds like policing in america.

@5 yes. this. the banality of evil. this is a perfect example.

I'm really not following. You're saying that these cops shouldn't have formed up in a line, pushing back everyone they encounter as they were trained and ordered to do. I get that, the results were tragic. Yet they're a bunch of whiny babies for resigning from the squad where they would be ordered to form a line and push back anyone who they run into in the future?

"It's black and white in the letter of the law," Flynn told a news conference. "It says right there, anyone who's a victim 65 years or older and the perpetrator is [at least] 10 years younger — it's a felony."

(NOTE: But a cop, no matter what age, can shoot and kill an unarmed black person, even a child, and it's nothing).
