    I've got mad love for this man. What he did was simple, but brave. We very much need more cops to follow his lead.https://twitter.com/gpdbentobias/status/891032023086895105 …

    I'm a cop. I do not agree with or condone @POTUS remarks today on police brutality. Those that applauded and cheered should be ashamed.

        As someone pointed out, there were also cops marching at women's march. And many cops last yr in BR cheerfully posed for pics w/protestors.

        This is even more noteworthy, I agree--to individually speak out against President, to reaffirm one's department's message.

        Wholeheartedly agree. We set a standard for our profession and those who act outside of what is moral and legal bring all of us down.

        Yeah but unfortunately I've seen this guy retweeted over and over but no other cops taking a stand that aren't in the management chain.

        In my opinion, him not being a beat cop, his opinions don't hold much weight with most people that have had bad encounters with cops.

        Yes & also 2 call out cops laughing & applauding Trump as he encouraged more police brutality. Even if Trump goes that f.ed attitude remains

        Okay but he still chooses to work for a massively violent and racist institution so don't get too warm and fuzzy.

        Living in Gainesville...this isn't surprising. GPD is making huge strides in community policing and breaking the school to prison pipeline

        I'm former military & federal law enforcement. Beware: I resist false arrests, don't give warning shots, no prisoners nor police brutality.

        It's all well and good, and expected, for the higher ups in a department to show actual morals and ethics. The beat cops often don't.
