Guys... look, as much as I didn't think I'd do this, you're missing Ulti's point. He isn't incentivizing being a bad cop or condoning it. He's saying that it's really hard for a good cop to call out a bad one without risking his life even more than usual. That's a big reason for the "silent blue line" when an officer f***s up -- if any of the good guys steps off the line, they might have their backup conveniently stuck in traffic the next day. That's the awful reality of the job even for a true believer.

Nah. How is that a response to essentially "Cops should be scrutinized"?

"Cops should be held to a higher standard"

"You moron liberals! Corrupt Cops pressure Good Cops into not being rats with threats of death."

Yeah ok? Explain how that refutes the idea that Cops should be monitored?

Fuck that, there's nothing defensible there when you consider the context of what he's saying.

Nowhere in his post did he say "The blue wall of silence makes it harder than you think", he basically condoned it and anyone who disagrees with it "puts cops at risk".
