This makes me wonder what information he has on someone in a position of power over him.

@ProPublica a certain kind of privilege at work here. Wish there was a name for it. 92 accusations of misconduct. Unreal.

@ProPublica File this under numerous reasons that the police can’t be reformed.

@ProPublica can't be a cop without being a misogynist!

@ProPublica Reading this article gave me a headache...

@ProPublica I'm surprised he even had to say that much. Most cops just show their badge and are on their way, as far as I can tell

Not that it's simply implausible from the get-go, but you know this guy doesn't have a girlfriend.
