A few bad apples... who knew🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
Indigo1_ Should be fired
This man has problems now.
tariqnasheed On desk Duty? They should be on probation
It amazes me, as a exteacher, I would of lost my teaching license for Moral Turpitude. AND while it was under investigation I would not be allowed in the school or be paid. Police Unions are destroying law enforcement.
Indigo1_ Yet weinstein is still free
tariqnasheed 🤔 Desk Duty? They need to be FIRED and BLACKLISTED. They should never be able to be a cop again. And they might wanna vet these rookie cops coming into the Police Academy. There should be an Anti-Racism/White-Supremacist pre-screening for white cadets and appliers
Shocking. Who'd a thunk?
It’s always a black chief that has to go out and speak to racism. Just happened in Phoenix
coachglen If they did it they are dummies
tariqnasheed These race soldiers are government sanction terrorists, they're not even hiding it at this point
22 in Missouri
Desk Duty. I want to know how many of them have killed a black person and how a dept doesn’t know they are hiring racists!!?
Oh good gods. That is not within the purview of local government or local police unless asked to do so by a broader authority. It would be better to make those 72 redundant and allow the money to be reallocated to projects of greater social worthiness and effectiveness.
tariqnasheed More cities need this
Now you have to look at all of the people those 72 police officers arrested.
deBeauxOs1 Therefore - 72 000 police in America should be pulled off their regular duties over offensive social media posts — which ranged from racist memes, to posts celebrating violence, to Islamophobic messages
Desk duty IS NOT A REASONABLE RESPONSE! They all need to be fired and unable to get employment in the same field anywhere else.
tariqnasheed Fire them all...unless you tolerate racism, keep them
tariqnasheed Why not fired? Any other job somewhere would’ve been terminated.
tariqnasheed Thats it?
tariqnasheed The police 'state' needs an overhaul across the board it's a broken institution, when you get away with shit for so long it becomes an entitlement, it's no longer a service
Yeah Islamaphobia has no place in our society. Leave those nice people that want us dead alone.
That’s just philly
How about termination
tariqnasheed Good. Now go those struggling communities and recruit some of the young men of color.
This why all police departments need to start recruiting better caliber human beings. It is the only way you will get better police. Any high school graduate or general associate degree just isn't cutting it
Hopefully you they will get educated and can be put back on regular duty. It is an opportunity to change the culture
tariqnasheed Paid desk duty fucck 12
Sadly? Not!!
They should be fired.
They need to be fired and have 100% of their cases reviewed by an independent organization. TODAY!
Good
davidpugliese But they’re still cops, right?
GOOD!!!! ✊🏽
jkimballcook That look on the police commissioner’s face, tho—that’s the expression so many of us have been wearing internally, everywhere we turn, for the last few years.
tariqnasheed A whiff of accountability...
It's as if....police officers have biases against a lot of non-white groups....and like to target them. But I'm just not sure.....🤔🤔
Dear America, Your system is broken. The policies and procedures implemented to hold officers accountable are failing. As a result, the inherent injustice encouraged and endorsed within the system continues with impunity. PoliceViolence
tariqnasheed
tariqnasheed Where do Police officers get their Salary from? Who are they protecting & serving? Are they not a Complete waste of Taxpayers money😡?
The evidence of police bias and or corruption has been in our faces since we've had cops. If this were a concern for the nation, we would have addressed this decades ago. I don't see what will actually change in the long run.
tariqnasheed 72 race soldiers...not officers. Now they re gettin paid time off as a farcical form of disciplinary action. They ll be back on the streets terrorizing blk ppl in no time.
Rock on Philly now the rest of the country needs to follow suit. We know racism in the police department's is rampant fix it.
tariqnasheed ...Regular duties? How bout pulling them from society!!! Go thru their arrest records with a flashlight and a fine tooth comb. Nah that's not nearly enough
This is American normalcy ADOS Tangibles2020 TaNehisiCoates thelauracoates karenrebels
I guess we arent going to talk about how violent blacks are in this thread
Should just make it illegal to be white and have opinions
That last quote from Commissioner Ross says everything you need to know about the institution. It's 'sad' to see bigots go.
Well then! So many wolves in blue.
tariqnasheed We should of got 50 cent to get them reparations‼️50cents
tariqnasheed Throw the whole police department away
tariqnasheed Stop pay during and make any investigation into race such as this automatically take a minimum of 120 days. Well have cops so afraid to ruin their family they’ll actually be forced to......TREAT BLACK PPL LIKE HUMAN BEINGS 😱
Kindness is in short supply these days while our institutions crumble.
Cops are scumbags, this proves it.
Philly Police Dept: Y'all are racist, violent bigots with guns; sit down. Philly police: Are we getting fired? Philly Police Dept: Nah, but you're on timeout...think abt what you did. 🙄😒😑
Nigga's basically said you can't be racist standing up, and PAID these's cops to sit.. This system is so fcked up y'all thing 'desk duty' is a punishment for violence and bigotry. SMH
shaunking They should be fired.
Sounds about white... Let's give them desk duty instead of court dates... after all, we shouldn't hold cops to any kind of standard right?
'Protection and serve'
shaunking A few bad apples...
Desk Duty? They shouldn't be carrying a badge or a gun ... ever. again.
The racist r the black community homo community Muslim community
Can u come get the proven nazis at the SFPD next? They still have their jobs.
Gee, it's almost like racism in police departments is a systemic problem and not a case of a 'few bad apples'...
FTP
tariqnasheed
So what happens when the criminals become the police because the politicians have created situations unbearable for those looking to serve and protect no longer want to do the job? This is no doubt bullshit but it seems whatever a politician touches turns to shit so go figure.
shaunking ok cool so now remove their ability to ever be a cop anywhere ever and ill think about caring
shaunking Thanks to the Plain View Project!
Desk duties Any other job you would be fired! Well, not our racist president right now. Get rid of so many desks and get some honest men to service the people.
Looking for the ✌🏿good cops✌🏿 who should have turned these people over in the first place?
There should be a zero tolerance policy around anytime of discriminatory, racist, sexist, etc. behavior by law enforcement officers, first responders, or anyone who holds a public position where they are required to protect and serve. Immediate firing and loss of pension.
byJenAMiller Is there a list or is it confidential
Sorry but this is not nearly enough. They should be fired, every last one of them.
This is why we need a national certification for police officers, once they are found out to be the wrong person for the job they cannot move to another district, city and get another job hurting people.
Review their arrest records, reports of violence towards citizens and settlements.

shaunking Thats alot of desk......
shaunking This.....in Chicago.
shaunking Now pull them from the payroll
shaunking How many worked at the Roundhouse?
City of Brotherly Love!!
Should be FIIIIRRRREEEEDDDDD
72 down. Lots of work ahead.
RevJJackson I can't stand when people say 'oh provide them with intense training' - you don't need intense training to act human, is either you are a nice person or you are not. Training can only teach you how to conceal your hatred. So fire all of them because they will not change.
Would be funny if all the police walked off the job in that shitehole city.
They'll have more time to go on social media at their desks....awesome
They should probably challenge this in the courts on free speech grounds.
All of their cases should be reviewed. Most likely innocent people are in jail due to their prejudices.
Purge them from the department. Law enforcement is too valuable a service to constantly have the worst & dumbest amongst us being given that kind of responsibility & power.
This PhiladelphiaPD Phillies police story of WhiteSupremacy in their ranks is just the tip of the cheesesteak. There is a WhiteSupremacists problem plaguing the entire nations Police Force MPD_TN DCPoliceDept BaltimorePolice NYPDONeill policeconduct CNN 60Minutes
🙄...... social media ..... if I was an officer in any of these snowflake central cities I would quit and move.
In any regular job you'd be fired.
Thereby punishing the people of Philadelphia and treating them to additional crime. What a great city government.
And now they should fire them. These officers cannot fairly do their job.
ahh, the city of brotherly love
Good!
deray That's not a very wide range of offenses.
US turning into UK Goodbye Freedom
If this were a nationwide thing, that little “bad apples” theory would need some PR resuscitation.
MattHun67472111 Imagine how many officers would be pulled off duty, if you did this in every major city across the United States.
Replace them, they don't deserve to serve and protect.
Ahh yes let the paid vacations begin! So many lessons will be learned
Just out of curiosity...what RACE is the almighty Police Officers who made those Social Media posts?
But are all of those cops cases being re-examined? That’s 72 cops averaging how many cases, arrest, complaints filed against them, and still getting paid?!!! Forget regular duties, investigate them!!! philadelphiapolice Aclu
Wow, I’m shocked. In f—-in’ Philly!?!
Bad cops need to go, but this is an overreach. How about paying attention to what these cops do ON the job, not away from it.
Shocking that the average (not all cops, etc etc) cop is a racist, sexist, violent piece of crap who enjoys enforcing their authority
reveal
Give good men and women their jobs and tell them to hit the pavement.
And that Page and Strzok?
Humor will NOT be tolerated. Free thought is NOT allowed. ALL will be punished. WELCOME TO COMMUNIST CHINA.
So their punishment is nice, cushy desk duty?
Hmmmm maybe this is the start of a new day? Let’s take this on the road across America. Phoenix wanna go next? resist Portland? Seattle? LA? SFO? Boston? NYC? Chicago? St.Louis? Denver? Salt Lake City? Charlotte? Atlanta? Orlando? Dallas? Ok EVERYWHERE will do then. GO!
I'm not sure what the media was ... sounds like a huge problem OR some bureaucrat with a stick up their butt if not hate speech ... free speech is a BIG issue here cops don't have to have the same opinion as some desk jockey that's offended by The Simpsons
Not surprised. We need to be concerned about how their social media behavior affected their approach to policing black and brown people. The department needs to do full investigations on each officer.
Need to hit all state agency employees with this. Used to work for the state and am AMAZED at what some of my old coworkers post on Facebook.
All should be fired ASAP
Based on the idiot they have as a DA, this is completely to be expected. More murders, less cops. Great plan.
I would think this is a lawsuit- if it’s their personal time .
LOLOLOLOL Now do the politicians and their tax payer funded cell phones
Bravo!
This count as phobic these days?
Philly is now China.
GavinNewsom SenKamalaHarris LibbySchaaf
Let us know when they fire them.
72 🤦♀️🔥
ClownWorld
level up, ya'll
I wonder what investigators would find in the social media accounts of NPR journalists?
So, now do Biden... WakeUpAmerica
Time for some intense officer training
Desk duty? Give them all the sack!
This is good, but the takeaway should be how widespread the problem must be. It surely isn't unique to Philadelphia. 🥴
Should be a nationwide. Make the country a better place for everyone
And they going to try to 'retrain' these bastards. People of colour will continue to suffer over there until they pull a HongKong protest but nobody don't got time for that and nobody with ability to change it ain't supporting it either.
fourth largest police force
Yep. Kick them to the curb. They have NO business interacting with the public
We are all entitled to our opinions.
see if they want to work in Dallas....they're way short on cops, but the 'locals' hate cops too.....because they enforce laws and stuff,
Wow, its happening in Detroit as well but white Mayor Duggan hasn't done a damn thing!!
We need to create and develop a society in which we don't have to rely so heavily on large police departments.
Only 72? Look harder!
It is a very corrupt city.
Good. Clean house
I was sure I was going to see Krasner mentioned. Anyway, good shit.
brendonwalsh this is bull supportallcops
Just 72? Come on Philly.
Get rid of them.
Sigh
Yay!
You really can’t be surprised by this can you It’s our justice system is designed Look at the numbers
Good. No more bad cops.

NPR Choice pageGovernorVA Coonman, can you look into this? Seems like a good idea. I'm from CA and a rational bill that actually helps a broad base of people from the state is rare and refreshing. Great move Texas! Maybe I need to make a great move too. Imagine if you were to purchase a vehicle and three months later, they said, by the way, you need to send an additional $5,000 for the car. It is not ok in any other business so it should not be allowed in this business.
