My Open Letter to All Cops: Look, if you’re a cop, retired or have any vested emotional interest in law enforcement, you come to any of my platforms and feel the need to remind me of my status in law enforcement, let me go ahead and save you some time. See, the thing is, unlike most cops, retired cops, ex-cops and what not, I will be the first to admit that police officers are a bunch of insecure, self righteous, pissed off men and women who think they have more power than actually given to them. And I was one of the worst of them all. coptalklive.org/open-letter-…

I have absolutely nothing respectful or positive to say about anyone who swears an oath to The Constitution, has authority over citizens, but has ZERO self control, discipline or dignity. How they treat themselves is an indicator of how they will treat others.

Is it bullying when we demand cops have standards? You lose the right to be unfit when you are a cop.

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you see police officer bathroom selfies?

One of the most important phrases I had ever heard was taught to me by a man named Joe Prate when he was my boss. There was a complaint that he was addressing and I was arguing that it was a frivolous complaint that had no merit. Joe looked at me and said, "perception is reality. It isn't important to you, but it is everything to them." That phrase stuck with me to this day. Perception is reality. What is meaningless to you, is life changing to someone else. And as cops, that is profoundly important. We live in a world where people mock the mundane aspects of law enforcement and focus solely on the heart-pointing, fast action chases, shootings and violence, yet the bike that was stolen from some kid, which may have meant the world to him as a gift from someone, isn't worth the respect of humanizing their perception unless we can leverage it to somehow humanize the badge. All it takes is one bad interaction, one apathetic brush off, one curt word and someone's perception of the police becomes their world of reality on them all. You are who you show to the public. Remember that on every call, every follow up, every traffic stop. The effort will most likely never go honored or recognized, but the reality you show someone, good or bad, is the legacy of your career. Make sure their perception of you as a police officer matches the reality of who you truly are.

This is why I bully, shame, call out, expose, pressure… because the niceties of backing the blue arbitrarily, accepting and humanizing the badge and not demanding excellence have created such an abhorrent standard of “cop” that we now are in the age of weak police who are contributing to a decaying society instead of improving and protecting it with able professionals who we know we can count on. We must demand and push for accountability and professional standards of supreme excellence in law enforcement or pay the price of collapse.

This is one of the best examples of how law enforcement can go from a quiet day to an absolutely disastrous outcome in the blink of an eye. It also shows how some people should NOT be police officers and others were born to be. piped.video/-mNR6RwzlHo?is=nYNF…

Some firemen should have just been cops. What a dirt bag. I've been hydrant man plenty of times. This wasn't necessary.
