Coalition of Police Officers Heads to D.C. to Demand the Broken and Brutal Police System Be Fixed
By Jay Syrmopoulos * February 24, 2015 * Free Thought Project

Washington, D.C. – The National Coalition of Law Enforcement Officers for Justice, Reform and Accountability (NCLEO) is a contingent of current and retired law enforcement officers and whistleblowers. NCLEO will be meeting with a congressional delegation that includes civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday to discuss policing reform.

These former officers seek to assist in helping to reform a system that is severely broken and many times entirely devoid of justice. Problems that range from racial profiling and police brutality to the lack transparency in relation to allegations and complaints of misconduct by officers will be addressed.

“Modern policing is in a crisis that could lead to a revolution. We need a paradigm shift to get rid of antiquated policing. The insular culture of law enforcement and mental health issues in cops need to be addressed, as well as ingrained racism,” said NCLEO member Alex Salazar, a former LAPD cop turned whistleblower, in an interview with The Free Thought Project.

All too often we see the police, as well as prosecutors, ignore officer misconduct and in effect passively support the status quo of a broken justice system. To the public at large the “us vs. them” mentality held by law enforcement emboldens an anti-police response from the public and only serves to create a greater divide.

This group of former, retired, and current officers heading to D.C. represents departments from across the U.S.. LEOs from St. Louis, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, Washington DC Metro, Albuquerque, East Orange, New Jersey, Brockton, MA and the US Marshal Service will be in attendance.

1. But how will the prisons be staffed to provide slave labor for the oligarchs?

And if black men aren't killed or incarcerated at massive numbers, then they might vote or protest and that would be troublesome for the oligarchs.

Justice has nothing to do with "justice" in America and even less to do with law.

5. I would be interested in the racial breakdown of this group.

Seriously. No snark.

My feeling is it the racial breakdown would be less white than not. I may be wrong. It would be nice if I was wrong.
