Eight California sheriff's deputies sacked for covering up a fellow officer's attack on trans man
Emmet Brock was followed, beaten, and arrested Deputy Sheriff Joseph Benza III.
In b4 police union challenges, all are reinstated with back pay and city doesn't do any about fascists and bigots.
As long as they protect their capital, they don't give a shit.
He wasn't beaten for being trans, he was beaten for daring to flip off a cop. Look at the guy. Think the cop knew? Nah, he was just being a cop.
Best part is officers who covered up getting fired. That's a rare thing!
Oh sure act all high and mighty but can you really say you wouldn’t…
…abandon the victim of domestic violence in pursuit of honor?
You’re just gonna let protected speech occur even when it hurts your feelings?! Pretty soon you’d live in a world where more than one person might momentarily silently lift a body part in a fully legal manner… without even fearing being killed for it.
And they will go somewhere else and continue to oppress and abuse while holding a gun and wearing a badge.
Does sacked mean that they were tried as accomplices in this hate crime?
What about felony charges for destruction of evidence?

If it doesn't, you can shove this "journalism" right up your asshole.
Sacked means fired. And they were fired. The Feds may still charge them for obstruction.
Here's what's really fucked up, though: These cops charged their victim with three felonies (these articles don't say which ones) and later dropped them to two misdemeanors when the video came out, then dropped the charges entirely when it looked like they didn't have a case. None of the cops - including the one who left a domestic violence call to beat a man up for flipping him off as he passed - have been charged with anything. The only charges filed in this case have been bogus ones against the victim of police violence.
Something worth mentioning since this song is both by the offspring and we're in
<current year>
:If your definition of racism ends at saying the N-word, you need a new definition of racism.
I wonder which gang these deputies belong to?
