Fuck both of these clowns.

I get it's a Halloween costume and they are on their own time but why post it?

The police hate the mosbys for charging the Freddie gray cops and a majority of their constituents range between distrust and hate of cops flat out. So this idiotic duo dress up in the only costume that literally piases off everyone they deal with in their elected positions.

So happy marilyn is leaving, hopefully her moron tax avoiding husband is next on the chopping block.

There’s literally nothing wrong with this. It’s Halloween for God’s sake.

Actually the police hate Mosby for not prosecuting crimes. FG was almost 8 years ago. So a lot of the cops on the force don’t even know care. What they care about is working their asses off only to play catch and release. Best thing to happen to BMore will be Bates. Oh and a lot of people in Baltimore know that the cop so the only thing between them in the criminals So no, smart people hate the bad cops but they can separate them.

Right…. People in this city—especially on Reddit—get upset about the wrong s….

🙄

And when Bates reveals through poor performance that he isn’t the Second Coming—like they thought about Mayor Scott—they’ll forget how excited they were to elect him, as well.

How does one separate the cops that aren't actively corrupt, but are silently complicit about said corruption, from the cops that are actively and obviously corrupt? Especially if they never have to face any consequences, because the system protects them, but punishes those who try to blow the whistle?

Stop with the anti police hate speech. This is not 2019 where that was cool. Try substituting a race instead of police in that sentence and see how ridiculous it sounds. People are the company they keep it is not like all cops see bad acts. Do you see a lot of people committing crimes?

False equivalency. A uniform can be taken off, skin cannot. I don't care about cook, I care about the reality of the situation.

Also, I don't hate the cops, but I'm also not going to ignore ongoing systemic issues that exacerbate societal issues.

Police departments are relatively small closed communities, in relation to the populations of the environments in which they exist. Everyone is aware of everyone else's business, to varying degrees, in such small, closed, communities. Even if you don't know the details, you'll still know enough to know that something is up.

Just Trashy with a capital T. I’m no fan of BPD but it is so disrespectful coming from the Mosbys.

You demand that change from city leadership and vote in people who are serious about weeding out corruption. The problem with Baltimore is we vote in people like the Mosbys because they talk a big game. When they don’t deliver or worse, are unmasked as corrupt themselves that’s when they should be booted out at the next election. Instead we keep voting and re-electing the same people.

Based on how I’ve seen workplace complaints play out I can’t fault anyone for being reluctant to say something. There is always some form of retaliation, including termination. The best thing to do in the interest of self preservation is to just move on. Not the most satisfying answer but the righteous path that leads to unemployment doesn’t pay the bills.

It’s easy to say someone should report something when you have no stake in the matter. It’s much harder to do it when you know it will start a witch hunt for you. This is by no means a police exclusive trend.

Ideally there would be mechanisms in place to better protect people who report illegal activities, EEO discrimination violations, etc. In theory some of this exists. In practice… good luck.

I get all of that. But, the problem is that in terms of how that plays out practically speaking, not saying anything is basically the same as condoning it. If there were enough cops who came together to say something all together at the same time (like how the police union does with pay and overtime) as publicly as possible, then it'd be much harder to ignore the problem and target the cops who are against the corruption. If nothing is risked, them nothing is gained, and so they are still being complicit in the corruption and further degredation of the society they're supposed to be protecting, whatever their personal views may be.

Again, I completely get your argument, and I even understand the reasons they're not saying anything. But, ignoring the wound only serves to worsen the problem by allowing it to fester and become gangrenous. And there are generally only two solutions once a limb has become mostly gangrenous: 1) do nothing and allow the whole body/person to die, or 2) amputate the necrotic limb and eventually replace it.

This is basically game theory, not too unlike the prisoner’s dilemma. The best outcome comes if a critical mass of police come forward. But if a critical mass is not reached the people who come forward will be punished worse than if they had said nothing. I assume officers are aware of the odds being stacked against them.

I suspect if there were strong protections and safety nets in place we’d see A LOT more reporting of illegal business activities. Wage theft is a gigantic problem and often goes unreported. If you know your employer is screwing a coworker over on pay do you put your neck out and brace for termination? Or update your resume and move on. Most people pick the latter.

We need stronger worker’s rights, IMO. Nothing short of that will level the playing field.

It's also an issue of police culture. If the culture, and let people within that culture, supports keeping things the way they are for their own benefit, and they are allowed to continue in those positions, then nothing will change.

Basically, this is a multifaceted problem. No one single solution, by itself, will work. There needs to be worker protections, independent oversight, higher psychological standards (since they were lowered to allow people with combative/abusive personalities to join), higher educational standards (BPD only requires a high school diploma for people who are supposed to enforce and know the law), a requirement for cops to live in the communities they police (or at least in the city limits and within a certain radius from that community), taking welfare checks and non-violent interactions with the unhoused away from the police and giving them to teams of social workers and psychologists (who we need more of) who are far more qualified to deal with such situations, and actively working to increase the community's trust in the police through active engagement with the community.
