Louisville Protesters See Police As 'Corrupt' | The Last Word | MSNBC

84 comments

  1. 4 people fired for killing innocents. THIS IS WHY THEY ARE RIOTING. MURDER IS A CRIME, not a fireable offense.

    1. Brown Papi Not all blacks are criminals, not all whites are racist, not all cops are bad, ignorance comes in all colors.

    2. @gary stewart Yeah, so’s lying to the FBI, unless of course you have criminal friends in high places.

    3. @Constituent A #obamagate RIGT THTS WHAT YUR TALKING ABOUT RIGT? The COMMIE DEMS lied about everything making impeachment a COUP!!!!!!!!!!but remember CNN told U orange MAN bad so yea must be true DURP DURP DURP!!!!!!

    1. @Taharqa Mansa I’m going to need actual proof of the FBI issuing said statement. Don’t post some link from a leftist owned media source “saying that the FBI issued some statement”

    2. @Nathan F Smith An FBI intelligence assessment—titled “White Supremacist Infiltration of Law Enforcement” and published in 2006 during the administration of President George W. Bush—raised alarm over white supremacist groups’ interest in “infiltrating law enforcement communities or recruiting law enforcement personnel.” The report, based on FBI investigations and open sources, warned, for example, that skinhead groups were actively encouraging their members to become “ghost skins” within law enforcement agencies, a term the report said white supremacists use to describe members who “avoid overt displays of their beliefs to blend into society and covertly advance white supremacist causes.”
      In 2015, a classified FBI Counterterrorism Policy Guide, obtained by The Intercept, stated that “domestic terrorism investigations focused on militia extremists, white supremacist extremists, and sovereign citizen extremists often have identified active links to law enforcement officers.”

    3. @Taharqa Mansa Where’s the the direct link of the FBI issuing any such “statement”

  2. All police forces tend towards corruption. Without serious citizen oversight they become nothing more than sanctioned gangs.

    1. Like the military, the police forces nationwide have been for a very long time infiltrated by white nationalists who see citizens as enemy combatants.

  3. If it’s the law that they have to have their body cameras on then why aren’t they just immediately fired whenever they’re discovered to be off… CORRUPT COPS

    1. Big Boomer strange thing is the body cameras may be useful for them, if they genuinely get attacked by civilians without provocation

    2. @Alex Warner The tyrants known as police dont need video evidence to incriminate an individual. In courts there statement is “the truth”. They turn there cameras of because there corrupt POS following orders from corrupt POS.

    3. @Frank L i believe someone in the vid said it was “a law” most likely a requirement mabey. But i believe police across the U.S. should have to wear them 100% of the time while on duty and any charge or arrest made while a LEO camera is off should be dissmised. That way they have no choice but to keep them on.

  4. They need to clean up the whole Police Department get rid of them I know they racist the governor of that City need to clean it up jmw

    1. The problem is that the police department heavily recruits former military rejects who have no business being police officers. Not to mention the grotesque abuse of steroids and other “substances” that many of these police officers use.

  5. I told you so.
    The police are shooting protesters.
    China should ask for human rights for the protesters.

    1. @Zack S too bad american leaders put protests and unrest in other countries on purpose and when it happens in their country they’re already prepared for it like it was another day in the war room. no change for them.. just us.

    2. Holly White yup in dallas a police officer was captured on video by James Freeman who is a journalist, the police added more fuel to a fire that was dying down.

  6. There’s gonna be lawsuits backed up in the courts for the next 10 years. Lawyers are gonna be rich.

    1. Lots of jobs in construction, too, with all the re-building that will need to be done. So who do we thank for all this job creation, the mythical ‘Antifa’?

    1. @ides of march Well, if you’re a biblical person as OP obviously is; it’s probably pretty easy to think of Trump as “the great deceiver”

    2. LOTS OF COMMIE DEMS ON THE STREETS MORON.
      If you think trump is to blame your dumb. the trump supporters are the ones getting there businesses burned to the ground…….Its ANTIFA that is the real enemy and must be destoryed like the traitors they are

    3. @ides of march No looter will vote for Biden. They’ve never gotten as much free stuff from any Democrat as they’re getting now under trump’s administration.

    4. @Constituent A Cracks me up when a KAREN wines about spellin. YOU aint worth spel check. Thats what it meens POTATOE brain…. WANT TO BRING IN PEACE ON EARTH STOP BEING A F-ing KAREN

  7. I thought it was policy that they activate body cams when interaction. Why aren’t they following policy if they are wearing them…. what’s to hide…

    1. in our declaration of independence we have the right to overthrow any government that is clearly in violation of peoples liberties.

    1. @MAE Gary STFU YOU FOOL. YOUR AN EMBARRASSMENT TO YOUR COUNTRY.. RACISM MUST END.. PERIOD..!!

    2. and of course it won’t stop. The best action would be leave the picket waving be and crackdown on any violent dissidents and that should includes everyone since citizen arrests are a thing and aren’t used as often as they should.

    3. @Shayne Handy You obviously dont know what you are talking about a citizens arrest is not an arrest. You can tell someone you are arresting them but it is their choice if they want to stay and wait for police to show up. If you stop them from leaving YOU are kidnapping them and WILL go to jail.

    4. @excited box and what will you do when Grandma is being robbed, stand there with your phone out? Your pathetic

    5. @Shayne Handy Right, so I am pathetic for showing that you are factually wrong. You live in a fantasy world making false claims but I am pathetic. I live in Germany and our cops do not act like that and we don´t have looting or robbing, or the violence. I lived in Philadelphia from 1996-2012 though and I can tell you having experienced both countries that the European way is 100s of times better.

  8. That’s a shame he need to fire anyone who don’t activate the body cam he mit have to clean house

  9. Really? The state of Moscow Mitch and his handler Oleg Deripaska has a corrupt police department? Who would have figured?

    1. Who says the LMPD are corrupt, MSNBC? Please is one of the most uncredible news organizations

  10. Those who had body cameras purposed shut it off to avoid incriminating themselves. Corrupt cops obviously !

    1. Oh but its ok for people to shot at police and burn police stations and hit police with cars. Im with the police! Respect police and you’ll be ok. Disrespect police and you wont be ok. Simple!

    2. Sd Ds George Floyd was trying to comply with the police and he was executed in public. Stop being such an inhuman bootlicker. You either stand with humanity or against it. The cops are against it. They’re just psychopaths collecting a paycheck. Nothing more.

    3. @Sd Ds You are wrong. I am a white male and have had very few good interactions with police. There are many crooked cops and there are areas with good cops. A town near us was known to get all the cops with lots of complaints assigned to it because it was a poor area. Just as the church hides their bad apples.

  11. Imagine killing someone and only losing your job, but u got ur pension and all ur benefits.

    1. a good black woman cop stood up to a bad white cop in Albany that was choking a cuffed person. She was fired and lost her pension. She was a police officer for 19 years.

    1. no you gotta recharge em and they run outta battery
      need them to hold each other accountable and stop each other when they know they are doing something wrong, think alota places got those laws but they ignore em so they can act like a gang of tough guys, like high school kids with guns and power
      or every cop car needs a babysitter

    2. GreensOplenty don’t make excuses. Keep extra batteries in the patrol cars instead of their military weapons.

    3. @GreensOplenty You could make it a felony to conduct a stop without a camera running and the cops would make sure that they are running. Phones beep for hours before the battery dies and with multiple cops on scene there is no reason for everyone to have dead batteries.

    4. @excited box yea but theres no reason they are always turned off now too, only thing i can think of is put cameras on every street corner like the UK does, but that still doesnt keep the bad cops from losing and misplacing evidence. need them to act professional and just not break laws but they dont like that.
      google video lost before trial probably find a buncha stories
      its funny no one even suggests that they just obey the law…because they dont and everyone knows it

  12. fire the whole department and start anew….there is a historical precedent for that action.
