Reply to comment by Ill_Long5021 in Cop Who Resigned After Groping UMass College Student Landed New Job Investigating Sexual Assaults in MA by Thayer1111

Here's the original article yahoo scraped this from.

It goes into a little more detail, but we do now have the POST Commission responsible for tracking this stuff and certifying officers. It seems they haven't been very transparent about what they're doing already though. One would hope they're just working through a backlog, having just been established and all, but the fact that it was this easy to find multiple cases they should have already pulled for review does not look good for them.

Thanks for the article. I worked in Mass for a police department. I never saw anything like this, but they were not perfect. I could go on and on, but I’ll spare you.

Do a ride along and live their life for a night.

Having a hard job doesn’t entitle you to be a sex pest, no matter how many cops think it does.

That being said, would love to see a cop do a “ride along” with say a server at a busy restaurant or with a special Ed teacher. It’s amazing how much higher the bar is for every other public facing profession.

Not commenting on the allegations but that hate towards our police. Yes we have bad apples, but most of these people save lives everyday while keeping our communities in check.
