Here's the proof

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/emilyhoerner/police-facebook-racist-violent-posts-comments-philadelphia

CHICAGO When an armed, would-be robber backed out of a liquor store after the clerk pulled a gun on him, the surveillance video was posted on Facebook with a comment: Should have shot him.

Another commenter responded, I would of pulled the trigger.

These comments werent from your everyday Facebook users. They were the words of Philadelphia police officers.

Local law enforcement departments across the country have grappled with officers use of social media, often struggling to create and enforce policies that restrict offensive speech.

The North Charleston, South Carolina, police department fired an officer for posting a photo of himself wearing Confederate flag underwear, days after a white supremacist killed nine black worshippers at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church just miles away. He later settled a wrongful termination suit.

The Chicago Police Department has tried unsuccessfully to fire an officer whose own commander complained of his bigoted views. A Facebook page called Chicago Code Blue attracted attention for inflammatory comments such as Every Thug Deserves a Slug after an officer was found guilty in the death of Laquan McDonald.

Police officers saying bigoted and racist things online has been an issue since the beginning of social media. The behavior was especially scrutinized after the Black Lives Matter movement blasted into the national conversation and that scrutiny has continued even after that movement began grappling with its future. What was never really captured was the scope of problematic online posts from police officers.

But a new review of police behavior on Facebook documents the systemic nature of the conduct across several departments. The Plain View Project, launched by Philadelphia lawyer Emily Baker-White, examined the accounts of about 2,900 officers from eight departments across the country and an additional 600 retired officers from those same departments. She compiled posts that represented troubling conduct in a database that is replete with racist imagery and memes, and in some cases long, vitriolic exchanges involving multiple officers.

The project sought to compile posts, comments, and other public activity that could undermine public trust in the police and reinforce the views of critics, especially in minority communities, that the police are not there to protect them.

Of the pages of officers whom the Plain View researchers could positively identify, about 1 in 5 of the current officers, and 2 in 5 of the retired officers, made public posts or comments that met that threshold typically by displaying bias, applauding violence, scoffing at due process, or using dehumanizing language. The officers mocked Mexicans, women, and black people, celebrated the Confederate flag, and showed a man wearing a kaffiyeh scarf in the crosshairs of a gun.

Just another savage that needs to be exterminated, wrote Booker Smith Jr., a Dallas police sergeant, about a homicide at a Dollar General store. Execute all involved, he wrote separately about a group of teens who were accused of killing a 6-year-old. (One defendant pleaded guilty to aiding in the kidnapping. The alleged shooter and another defendants trials are scheduled for later this year.)

Reuben Carver III, a Phoenix officer, proclaimed in a stand-alone post, Its a good day for a choke hold.

And in St. Louis, Officer Thomas Mabrey shared a false news report that distorted an incident in which a woman police officer was shot responding to a call from a Moroccan man in Lebanon, Ohio. F these muslem turd goat humpers, he wrote, one of numerous anti-Muslim posts.

Killing someone is often less paperwork for cops.

I personally don't disagree with the sentiment of this. Fuck anyone who kills a kid.

But yeah, they still have the legal right to a trail

Police saying shit like this online though, you wonder why they aren't trusted in certain communities. It's hard to trust someone who doesn't recognize you as an actual human being.

You have no clue what you are talking about. Being in an officer involved shooting IS the most paperwork any officer can do.

In my department it will consist of 2 written statements before you even leave the scene. Then 3 different investigations are completed by 3 different investigative sections of the department that all require you to be present. Mountains of paperwork, etc.

Yall just talk so much and dont have any clue

Just speak your mind.

It's just an account, you're not being arrested* or executed for typing words.

*I mean, unless you're actually doing something outright illegal like trying to sell drugs or something
But that's an extreme exception that doesn't apply here.

Cops are like their own gang force. The genuinely good ones either don't make it (quit on their own, or, unfortunately, killed on the job), or somehow overcome the scum and float to a position where they can try to do some good. It seems to be pretty rare, though.

I actually found that topic. Too bad apparently it's from the middle of April and all of the posts are gone. But yeah, "I had to explain to a 7 year old girl that her mother hung herself today." And then you told you us looked at your partner and said you were going to get lunch.

You never once explicitly stated it was sometime later, but you definitely made it out to sound like a joke. No wonder people gave you shit for it.

Cop or not, he gives cops a bad name.

EDIT: As much as I dislike cops, I really want to give them the benefit of the doubt which is why I can't stand cops or "cops" giving the police force a bad reputation.

Well my colleagues havent done anything. My entire squad hasnt had one reportable use of force in almost two years. I am a minority and 1/3rd(9 people) of my squad are black and Ive never seen the non minority people act in any racist manner towards anyone. And as to your last accusation I have no idea what youre referencing

As to any other department in the country? I dont know how Im supposed to answer for that. As a veteran do I need to explain why military have a higher sexual assault rate too?

I mean out of the 900 persons killed in the us last year by cops, how many of those were justified? And going by our population and I cant remember but there was like high hundred million number of police contact with citizens last year. So is it really as bad as you think it is? No

Let's take the word of a cop with poor linguistic skills over the report that he has incentive to go against.

Cause that's a reasonable thing to do.

This isn't new or shocking. You see posts online from lots and lots of noncops who seem to wish they were part of every situation involving crime just so they could hurt someone. Who better to harvest for the ranks of a group that kills people on the regular with no practical insight except for itself than the people who desperately want authoritarian rule and view getting the gun and the club as the reward for being a good little boy
