This cop, which is in m home state was immediately charged and convicted so nothing can be said about it. However sad and wrong this was justice was served.

That's not true at all. He has been indicted but the trial isn't scheduled until October 31st of this year, I'm certain he'll be convicted but it hasn't happened yet. He is currently out on a $500,000 bond as of the 4th of this month.

Even if when he is convicted, it's still apparent that he and his partner were willing to engage in a conspiracy to cover up what actually happened. Whether racism is part of it or not, there's still clearly a systemic problem in the police force that needs to be addressed. Police officers have a responsibility to uphold the law, not subvert it. We're lucky we got footage of this one but frankly we don't know how many other incidents like this have occurred.

Charleston is my hometown, there is still plenty left to be said.

In my home town of Cottondale, lil podunk of a town that's a grand total of 1 mile across, we have some of the most corrupt cops I've ever met. They handle and sell the drugs, which if they don't like the person, they will then bust them for a few hours later. They will literally pull over anyone with a out-of-tri state area tag(Georgia, Alabama, Florida) just to harass them. Planting evidence, fraud, blackmail, etc.

I'm not saying every cop is bad, but I've not had good experience with small town cops. That being said, they were cleaned up and there was a mass arrest last I heard and the entire staff's been replaced. I heard they tried to setup a judge or some **** (lol). But yeah, Crooked cops are the worst due to the fact that there's no one to hold them responsible except themselves.

And then there are obtrusive police officers as well.
