Police and Youtube

For those that watch Cnn or are a big fan of youtube you probably know that Erie Pa police department has made the news. Last month there was a shooting of a black man the killer has been caught.

This month a Erie police officer goes to a bar gets drunk and portrays a grieving mother who was grief stricken about her dead son and says that more black people should be killed and is surprised that people are calling for his removal from the police force.

On top of that the internal affairs investigator takes the police officer with him as he is interviewing the family and the guy who posted the youtube video.

The Erie police department is upset that youtube will not remove the video cause it makes the police department look bad.

Lets talk about another incident that has been kind of shoved under the rug concerning the E.P Apperently one of their dectives had a cocaine problem and had access to the evidence locker. Doesnt that make the police department look bad should they be asking the paper not to disclose this.

I understand that alochol can make you loose control but let me point this out and yall can disagree with me all you like but if you are a cop then that means you are a cop 24 hours a day yes everyone has a bad day and we all loose control but you have to be responsible for your actions. E.P trying to bully youtube to remove the video cause it makes the police department look bad is not the way to handle this nor taking the cop on interviews with people that have a problem with what this guy did is not the right answer either.

Neither is making excuses for him saying this is a hard job and they see crimes and stuf done to other human beings that would make you cringe to that I say excuse me this guy is in his 20s or early 30s and is now just learing this.

I say grow up and take responsibilty for your actions apologize to the people you have hurt and quit making your department look bad by being quiet and quit bullying youtube when they have done nothing wrong if you cant handle the job without turning to alochol then maybe you should not be a cop in a major city.

  1. There are jerks on every PD. It's just a simple fact. It's too bad, isn't it?

  2. It is too bad cause if the police do their jobs right they can be a postive influence on the community. I am hoping next week the cast comes off.
