The headline readsGood Cop? Lead Detective in the Murder of James Boyd Blows the Whistle on Albuquerque PD and what it describes is what we should expect of every single cop out there: A police officer who is blowing the whistle on bad, and potentially illegal, behavior by other cops. Until a majority of law enforcement officers act this way the police will continue to be a corrupt institution on the front lines of enforcing and enacting racism, classism, sexism, and other oppressions.
Of course, there are also laws that have to be changed to fix some of these things, but without more police officers who take actions like this officer have there will be no change.
