By the way to all the people on their moral high horses, the police kill way more innocent civilians on a regular basis. The only difference is they get away with it easier. Many have also dealt drugs and almost the entire NYPD was shaking people down until Serpico exposed them. Beat cops used to make every store or business on their beat give money each wee, plus free goods or food.
One does not need to be on a moral high horse to call John Gotti, Sammy Gravano, or any of these other guys assholes.
One minute you complain about people bringing up killings from the early days, then you deflect to whataboutisms about police, then you stretch that back to pre Serpico days. There's nobody on here saying cops are all saints. There's nobody sticking up for the scumbag ones. Can you see the difference between that and you?
I don't complain, I may disagree with them. Unlike them I don't start saying they are pedophiles of child porn sellers. The cops do kill way more civilians than the mob. Also look at the NYPD's history. JCrusher keeps saying his after father was a cop, and that gives him mob knowledge. Whatever. As for no one sticking up for "scum bag" cops , the NYPD hates Internal Affairs and calls them the rat squad and worse. so cops don't want other cops reporting their crimes and there are many. Read up on it and see.
If cops dont want other cops reporting their CRIMES, then they are CRIMINAL Cops. They have removed themselves from the main body of police through deliberate actions of their own. Of course they wouldn't want anyone reporting their CRIMES because they are CRIMINALS. That's how CRIMINALS act.
Of course cops kill more civilians, look at the sheer numbers and what their job entails. I suspect you meant to say innocent civilians, which for the same reasons, I agree I'm sure it's more on a yearly basis. Pieces of shit are pieces of shit whether they're wearing a badge, a suit, or a Reebok sweat suit.
