A serving Ferguson police officer revealed that he broke down in tears after he read the Department of Justice report which condemned his force and said: ‘I just close my eyes and wish it wasn’t like that’.

The officer said that his colleagues were ‘good cops’ and that they were ‘hurting’ just like the rest of the community.

In an exclusive interview with Daily Mail Online he said they were all standing behind embattled Ferguson police chief Tom Jackson but were fearful they would lose their jobs if the department was shut down.

More tearful agonizing.

Speaking to Daily Mail Online, the Ferguson police officer said the report misrepresented not just the force, but the city.

'The report is hard to read, but that’s not me,' he said.

‘I am good with the people, the community. We have good officers. Do they write more tickets than some people? Maybe. But they are good officers.

‘This hurts, it really does. When you read it, you read it as a city as a whole. You read it like everybody is like that, but not everybody is like that.’

Breaks my heart. Poor cops.

1. Aw poor thing!

[msongs]

2. "good officers" means they are good at their jobs, which means racist enforcement and $$ raising nt

[2naSalit]

3. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!

[pintobean]

4. I wonder if it was

one of the black cops. I do feel for those guys. The good news is that they won't have problems finding work, if need be.

5. Some black cops will beat the shit out of black citizens too

Seen it way too many times.

[pintobean]

13. Have the black FPD cops been accused of that?

[geek tragedy]

19. No, they're just willing participants in the illegal, racist racketeering scheme.

There's no indication that their actions were any more or less racist, in an institutional racism sense, than those of white officers were.

[geek tragedy]

6. 6% chance it was a black officer, nt

[pintobean]

11. It's higher than that.

2 white cops were forced to resign, so it's not one of them. Also, not many FPD cops have been willing to talk to the press.
This one has.

[geek tragedy]

16. 3/53 were black before, now it's 3/51

Rounding up to 6% in either case.

[pintobean]

17. That cop in the linked story

is the only one, other than Jackson, that I remember talking to the press.

[geek tragedy]

18. That cop is giving his name. Not sure what relation that has

to the sad sack in this article.

Though the self-pitying tone does seem consistent.


But, you're probably right that some local PD will eagerly scoop those guys up as window dressing for their own abusive, racist systems.

Dilworth certainly has demonstrated where his loyalties lie between the racist, abusive racketeering power structure and the black community.

Dilworth hates that his department is being portrayed as a predator, raising revenue by writing traffic tickets to poor minorities.

...

Surviving in the stressful conditions “starts from the top down,” Dilworth said. He praised Chief Thomas Jackson, who had promoted him to sergeant, saying he stands behind Jackson’s sometimes controversial handling of the situation “110 percent.”

That's one guy who will go along to get along, regardless of the constitution. A willful jackbooted thug willing to squeeze poor black people to ingratiate himself to the racist pieces of shit running that town, including the racketeering piece of shit police chief.

In an ideal world, every member of the Ferguson PD who failed to object to the practices would be permanently barred from working in law enforcement.

Plenty of malls for these guys to guard.

7. There very well may be a few good cops.

But I'd be willing to bet their "goodness" is completely suppressed by the shit head bretheren, and the potential for that "goodness" to take a foot hold lacks any momentum to become the habits of the majority.

[geek tragedy]

8. this 'good' cop seems to think his department did nothing wrong and that their

functioning as a collection agency to squeeze the black residents was a-o-k.

So not a good cop. Maybe a mediocre one.

[Sheepshank]

9. Not sure that I ever implied that the weeper was a good cop

...but nevertheless, I refuse to believe that in that hell hole 100% of the PD are racist assholes. Just as I don't think all of Islam are murderous thugs or that all Republicans and cold hearted mysogonists. I just always hold out hope.

[geek tragedy]

20. There were a few decent ones who objected, per the DOJ report.

But, this cop read the DOJ report and still stands behind the piece of trash serving as Chief of Police.

So, this is not a good cop.

[Gothmog]

10. I do not feel sorry for this officer

If he closed his eyes and ignored what was going on around him, he is also to blame

[Rex]

12. ‘I just close my eyes and wish it wasn’t like that’. I bet a lot of people wanted to just wish

I bet this kid closed his eyes and wished it wasn't like that...BUT IT STILL IS.

'Most' good officers do not let a 'few' bad officers destroy the goodwill between the community and community leaders.

CRY ME A RIVER ASSHOLE. Of COURSE he take no fault in any of this. OF COURSE.

[msanthrope]

14. Cry me a fuckin' river, cop. nt

[alcibiades_mystery]

15. Member of Racist Extortion Gang Feels Sad

Who gives a fuck?

[Trillo]

21. The cop who said this is anonymous?

Must be afraid of the wrath of his fellow officers, while saying they're "good officers."

Can't really have it both ways.

[geek tragedy]

22. More likely he doesn't want it on his resume that he approves of the racist shakedown scheme

Ferguson was running.

So he's probably a coward and corrupt.

[Dawson Leery]

23. Go to hell. The Ferguson PD needs some more morale suppressants.

Perhaps then they will learn to respect their community.

[hifiguy]

24. Boo boo kitty.

I will save my empathy for the family of Michael Brown.
