LOL "Nice Try"?  trying to get someone  to confirm a claim they made with any outside information? You would write this haha

There's plenty of non-MSM pop-up news sources that get posted here. The simple fact of the matter is that  what that poster claimed happens doesn't happen. There is no conspiracy to keep it secret. Cops aren't scared to police for fear of being reported and when they are investigated are rarely disciplined.

That's changing, at least in Oregon. Seems like a couple of times a week there's a news story about cops being put on administrative leave for one thing or another. The former West Linn police chief was terminated last December for participating in a wrongful arrest of a black man who sued the city and was awarded a $600,000. settlement.

The guy in this story was fired years after a blatantly illegal investigation/arrest in which the arrested party won TWO lawsuits before the chief was removed. You don't see how this doesn't really apply to what was being discussed?

  A guy who wanted to be a cop and graduated from the police academy, joins a blm chapter for about a year and then leaves because of the "ugly truth" that a police reform group doesn't support charter schools? And he left about 3 years ago, btw.

This is the "scandal" you've been reduced to?   ::)

There frequent articles in the Oregonian of police being put on administrative leave and disciplined which are more current. This one has been an ongoing big deal here, specially in West Linn, which is why it came to mind. Sure, winning those lawsuits played a role in this because it brought the situation to the City Councilors attention. A $600,000 settlement does not go unnoticed in a small community like West Linn.

The most recent event I can think of is a policeman shooting and killing a homeless wacko in Lents Park.

This is a shooting death. ???

 I did a quick google news search of  police and administrative leave and all of the stories are about shootings or cops just getting arrested for committing crimes. 

There is no epidemic of cops getting reprimanded just for being reported, and police aren't afraid to police for fear of being reported.

Those lawsuits didn't "play a role", they were the major factor. In the article you posted, it said the chief wasn't put on administrative leave until after the lawsuits concluded.
