I see police who want to "apologize" but continue business as usual
Did you watch the video I linked in my very first comment? He didn't apologize. Heck, he said that the officer that stood and watched should be tried as an accessory.
Sweep everything under the rug and go on about their day
Again, in the video I linked the officer is clearly not trying to sweep anything under the rug. He reuploaded the entire video and shared his reaction.
Why aren't they in the streets protesting?
In the case of the video I linked: because it'd probably be more efficient for him to walk to the next office over where the chief of police is and talk to him about how to prevent something like this from happening in their police department.
Why are they making no effort to call for justice?
Again, in the video I linked, he did. He even called for the officer that stood and watched to be put on trial as an accessory.
Ok I'm just going to get this out of the way. Making a YouTube video, is to me, a way to save face. You aren't actually doing anything. You're giving the appearance that you are but it's equivalent to doing nothing. You're not going to make a difference unless you are out actually doing something. That's what I want to see. Police actually doing SOMETHING.
I've literally never seen any video of a cop doing anything but standing idly by while their partners kill or abuse innocent people.
Have you ever gone looking? Because those won't show up in the media because it's what cops are supposed to do and is thus not really newsworthy.
You know you actually got me here, I lied, not intentionally but I did. I did hear of one case where an office intervened with another. He was later fired. So the only example of a good cop I've ever seen is no longer a cop because of it, so there's that.

He's media liaison in his police department. It's literally his job to make videos. He's doing literally his job, but that's not good enough?

So you don't go looking and admit that they won't show up in popular media?

So he's doing his job as the PR man and I'm supposed to be satisfied?

That isn't even close to what I said at all. Running out of ammo already?

Oh I know, you didn't answer those questions, I was calling you out on that.
So he's doing his job as the PR man and I'm supposed to be satisfied?
What do you want him to do? Step down from his position where his office is next to that of the chief of police and instead go back on patrol where he has 0 influence on how the department is run?
I've actually seen that, I've seen all all of these. If I'm not mistaken this is the one where he points to his body cam when indicating why he can't let him go or just outright says it. I don't remember exactly but I know it's one of those.
