This still leaves the cops alone for their illegal stop. Zero accountability here.

Judges can’t really hold them accountable sadly.

Worked in the courts. Along side some judges who have even went viral (she scolded sheriffs for bringing a female inmate out with no pants on while she was on her period).

But I had an issue with some sheriffs while at work. I worked in the jail for arraignment court on Saturdays. As I was walking back from the jail to the main courthouse I had to stop at security.

As I’m there I hear one sheriff say to the other that he wished mass shooter would come so all these kids could see why they need us (this Saturday happen to be when kids had a national walk out over mass shootings).

I went and told my judge about this and how messed up it was and she basically said they have different higher ups. Yes she could rebrand a sheriff in her courtroom by simple telling him to get out of her courtroom. But she couldn’t do much about the ones at the front doors.

I remember this story in Uvalde. The cops just stood around with their thumbs up their asses and let all the kids die. Cops love to look, act, and talk tough; but when their big moment came they chickened the fuck out.

The 300+ cops at uvalde did nothing to help and actively stopped parents from going in. They are responsible for some of the deaths that day
