It's a tough situation to be placed in. Being a military veteran AND a 25 year law man in chgo, watching this video and the results, are saddening, sickening and repulsive. However, just like any professions, there are the nuisances. Why would a 20 year vet, work a mid day shift for one… and he's NOT a supervisor. Just my thoughts. There are quite a few other things that are just below the surface, that sends off red flashing lights to veteran law ppl, that the lay person or media, would not begin to understand.
But knowing me and what I had to lose, dealing with an officer like this… regardless of race… he'd be the one in a choke hold, BY ME and we would then fight it out internally, administratively, privately, publicly… however we would war it out, but he wouldn't pull this crap on my watch! That's why he don't have 20 year vets working alongside rookies on the gladiator shift (3-11). Chavin had to be a true fckup to be sentenced to do patrol, at that time of day. Looking at his record, we KNOW that he was just that…a screw up!

BLM/ALM… Time for change…
What makes you people (cops) worse is the bs that comes out of your mouth.
No, I will never understand how some black wants to become a evil 😈cop??? This do not make no sense!!!!.
So these black officers just now realise racial injustice? Some of these black officers are just as bad as the whites
What if “Black Police Officers†start brutalizing and killing white people?
Its a JOB. You can EASILY take OFF the BLUE UNIFORM. QUIT.
Question, has there been a lot or just of the Black police officers immediate family members been killed by white police? Why do you think that this is? Selective and premeditated stalking and murdering of Black people. The white police prey on the Black people. Some of my family members were police officers and about twenty or so years ago i told them "the police provoke us, the police have a quota, the police try and hurt us when they arrest us, they twist our arms up unnecessarily etc.". Black police need to wake up because the white police are not your friend or brother and they are not friends or brothers Black people and the Black community. For those that are good white police, you need to put your partner in check!! If i were a police officer, i would be bustin heads in the locker room and at roll call.
A few bad apples doesn’t make the rest bad. Continue to protect and serve! That goes for white, black and brown officers! 👮ðŸÂ¿â€ÂÂ♂ï¸ÂÂ👮ðŸÂ¾â€ÂÂ♂ï¸ÂÂ👮ðŸÂ½â€ÂÂ♂ï¸ÂÂ👮ðŸÂ¼â€ÂÂ♂ï¸ÂÂ👮ðŸÂ»â€ÂÂ♂ï¸ÂÂ💙🖤💙🖤💙🖤💙🖤
That’s what Christopher Dorner tried to do but this corrupt system pushed him to take matters into his own hands! It took 1000 officers to hunt and kill him…
You got bad cops out there. And it look bad for the good ones and you good good do have good cops out there. But the band was making it look bad for the good ones and it's not fair for them cuz they got family too and not sound right with this officer doing. They should be off duty with the bass and gone out. Unfired or lease go to another job, but not this type of job. That's my opinion.
I dont trust you time and time you say the same thing ….
black and blue lol
You guys have to tell on these police y'all have to arrest them you know they are in every Department get him out I see your anguish it's a time for change we're not judging you if you about the right but you honestly have to do what's right everyday no matter how hard it is no matter who don't like it right is right wrong is wrong
We need to remove bad cops. Not all cops nor protestors are bad. Let's come together America!
This is so difficult unjustified BLM
There are more white people killed by black people then there is black people killed by white people but no one wants to talk about it or video it for the whole country to see or hear it
It doesn’t put you in the middle. You’re black before you’re a police officer.
It's nice seeing good cops, regardless of color. But if you think that some of the black officers aren't doing the same crap the others are, you're delusional. The problem is with how the entire establishment is trained in gestapo tactics. And really, it's the city cops that are the problem. You don't hear about this in small towns, or with sheriffs departments where they are elected.
You better believe I’m pushing my black son to be an officer to protect our communities.
I hate it when I get bruises too
Don't believe anything these guys say. Black cops don't see any color but blue.
See these guys as cops are people to look up too! I’m proud of you guys!
That man didn't deserve to die and the man is going to prison as he should it sucks but happens white or black
A black cop is like an Italian cop a fuck’n sellout to their own ppl
Talk abt ur own coworkers killing ur own black brothers unlawful
Hard work and success won't shield you from racism eventually the uniform has to come off.
they do everybody bogus prosecutors too all workin for corrupt system
defund the police
ftp
In my country morrocco in north africa we don't have this and we don't have level of democraty that you have in usa but we have islam how protect the unity of society in my city khenifra we have black arabic imam and we are majority amazigh people
These men are leading by example
I know everyone of these cops think after watching Floyd die, man I was black way b4 I was blue✊ðŸÂ¿. My people need me🤧
Not all of those black cops have good morals. Look at what happened in Atlanta to those two college students getting yanked from their car, 5 of those cops were black! At first, I thought they were white by the way they treated those kids!
Never seen a man cry until i seen a man die ..ðŸ˜â€Â
Let's do an honest assessment, just for general purpose's. How many causians have been killed, brutalized, victimized, pugilized etc while in the care and custody of black officers. Show me the numbers.
I want officer Barnett to arrest me with excessive force
My GOD….My GOD
â¤â¤
Stay strong, we support you. It's not people who looks like you who's doing the killings.
I feel for these officers now…get the bad apples out..more than a few but not all
I hope the 95 people who dislike this video just old and think disliking the video mean they don’t agree with the police brutality etc.
They get no sympathy. They joined the problem and nothing has changed in the x amount of years they've been on the force. No cop can be trusted in this system
How easy is it to say All lives matter to represent this fine gentleman
I'll make it simple for you….You're Blue
