To protect and to serve is the motto of police departments across America, but who protects Americans from bad police and bad policing. To some, police are good to others police are nothing more than crooks with a badge, while others see police as a taxpayer funded extortion racket. Police are human and make mistakes like the rest of us but they should be held to a higher standard if they are to uphold the law, you cannot be a crook nor can you violate people’s rights or the law and uphold the law. When a bad police officer is caught, they tell us there are only a few bad officers, but that is not true whole units and whole departments have been found to be guilty of committing crimes. How many times have officers violated the law but not held accountable for their actions? How many times have police said one thing and videos show something completely different from the official police version? How many times have police officials had to walk back what they said after a video comes out showing what really happened? How many times have police office lied before a video came out to show they were lying. Now wonder police do not want you to film them and may explain why some office turn off their cameras to prevent the truth and protect the lies. Now some places want to protect police by stopping citizens from filming police to protect the police at the expense of innocent citizens. If we do not hold police accountable for their actions, they will not stop and it will become more dangerous for citizens if they are held to account for there actions. When a city tires to hold an officer(s) accountable how many times have police unions threaten the blue flu to prevent the city from taking any action against a bad officer(s). Taxpayers pay the police to protect us we do not pay them to threaten not to protect us. Because taxpayers pay the police to protect us, we have the right to hold bad officers accountable for their actions. Police watch is dedicated to keeping an eye on police corruption, police misconduct and bad police for you.

On-Duty Cop Posts Photo Mocking Black People – Loses His Job the Very Next Day

Unfortunately, racism still shows up in places it absolutely shouldn’t, even among people sworn to protect their communities. However, the good news is that not every wrongdoing goes unnoticed. That was the case in Spartanburg County, South Carolina, where a sheriff’s deputy was fired almost immediately after posting a racially offensive message on social media while on duty.

According to The Post and Courier, the deputy was sitting in his patrol car when he clicked a picture of himself wearing a ski mask. He posted it with the caption, “To find a YN, you must be a YN.” “YN” is shorthand for “young n—–.” The slur is usually directed at Black People.

Sheriff Bill Rhyne had recently taken over the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office. He said that the Deputy, who is white, made the post on the 20th of this month. By the next morning, he was gone, and so was his 5-year-old tie with the agency.

‘It’s Alarming’: Michigan Cop Blamed ‘Too Many Minorities’ After Pepper-Spraying Two Young Black Men, Then the Video Blew Up Her Racist Excuse

Story by Atlanta Black Star News

A Michigan police chief blamed a “disproportionate number of minorities” coming into the community to commit crimes to justify police pepper spraying two Black friends within inches of their faces under false accusations in August.

The Black men, Lonnie Smith and Mason Woods, both 22, were participating in Michigan State University’s Fall Welcome, a week-long series of events to welcome new students to the university when they were pepper sprayed and arrested by an overly aggressive cop who accused them of fighting.

But Smith was actually trying to break up a squabble between Woods and another man outside Dave’s Hot Chicken in downtown East Lansing when they were both pepper sprayed by a cop who also pepper sprayed fellow cops and other citizens who had nothing to do with the squabble.

Last week, the Black men filed a pair of lawsuits against the East Lansing Police Chief Jennifer Brown for lying about what took place that night, despite being aware of video evidence that contradicted her claims.

The lawsuits, obtained by Atlanta Black Star, also list East Lansing police officer Andrew Lyon as a defendant, the cop who was captured on surveillance video pepper spraying the two men at close range after the altercation had already been defused.

Chief Brown then tried to justify Lyon’s actions to local media by blaming an influx of minorities attending Fall Welcome.
