This is WILD!

The FOP puts out a statement saying they FOUND the child they ripped from their parents after destroying their car and assaulting them "wandering barefoot in the protest" https://twitter.com/AttorneyRoss/status/1321986259347263488?s=20
The cops that did this, and then took the kid.

They tried to say that they were "looking out" for the kid.

THESE cops. Were concerned about the kid.

There is no bottom. https://twitter.com/absurdistwords/status/1321279326462070788?s=19
That kid was riding safely in a car with their parents until the Philadelphia police engaged in an act of senseless terrorism.

And they are trying to portray themselves as heroes.

This is as villainous as it gets.
The police when they made up this bullshit story, weren't aware there was video yet

They figured they could spin a tale about how some white cops kidnapped a little Black child from their innocent parents to save them and they'd be heroes and Black animals would be the narrative
They posed for a photo-op with the kid they kidnapped.

We are held hostage by these people.

America still doesn't get that it is the people who can attack you and steal your child and lie about it and be fine who actually run society.

Who else has that power?

Nobody.
If the police were publicly standing behind a lie where they found a kid wandering barefoot and alone when really they bashed in a car's windows, beat their mom in the street and took them...

What lie do you think is "over the line" for them?

Are you starting to get it now?
Police invent these stories EVERY DAY.

They have been telling these lies for decades.

If you are a person motivated by reason and evidence then you must presume that police have been lying about virtually everything for years.

In the news. On the stand. In reports.
If you've always given cops the benefit of the doubt...

You need to doubt every single press release you've ever heard from police.

Because this kind of "make up a whole damn story out of thin air" lying is ROUTINE.

This isn't the exception.

It's the rule.
What's most maddening about all this is that everyone who deals with them professionally KNOW police lie.

But not only do they not act on this fact... they all help sustain the public image of police as inherently trustworthy.

So police have default credibility.
Since police testimony is one of the largest factors in who gets incarcerated, you'd think their reputation for honesty would be a huge consideration.

It's not. The criminal justice system is BUILT around the credibility of police

So nobody can admit they are pathological liars
This is a whole thread about the fact that "Testilying" is actually a insider criminal justice term to euphemize acceptable police perjury. https://twitter.com/absurdistwords/status/780019797899747332?s=19
Nobody will change police because nobody is willing to bring down the system.

Acknowledging the glaringly obvious fact that police can never be trusted to tell the truth if lying benefits them more would mean casting every case they've ever had in existential doubt.
Admitting that lying about official records is not only permitted, but ENCOURAGED... ROUTINELY and as a matter of standard police procedures...

That wouldn't be an issue of a few dirty cops.

It would be cause to doubt the veracity of ANY police report or testimony.

Ever.
So that's the whole thing.

Because there is no existing alternative to police

Because the entire criminal justice system hinges on police honesty

Because police can legally inflict violence as they see fit on whoever they see fit

Everyone agrees to pretend they're honorable
The politicians
The judges
The prosecutors
The media

They have all made a pact to pretend.

Whether they like it or not. They all agreed to pledge loyalty to the lie.

And they will not break it.

They will hold onto this pact until their last.

Understand this.
Nobody in society endowed by We the People with the power to protect us from people like the police will ever do so.

Because they're all in too deep.

They can't.

There's too much for them to lose.

This is the reality we live in.

Grasp it now please.

It's just us.
