Bates Investigates

I’ve listened to several of these podcasts, and I’m almost under the impression that it was a joint effort. The short black cop that they talk about that raped one of the females, I’m thinking was involved in the drug trade in the neighborhood and Holtzclaw is getting too close to uncovering where the drugs were flowing from, and maybe who benefited from it and I believe he was set up. If he would’ve uncovered the truth, maybe other officers would’ve went down. I think there’s deep rooted corruption in the police force. He didn’t fit in because he was a good cop. I think that whole police force needs to be investigated.

As you spoke about the ‘no snitching’ code amongst the area’s (mostly black) residents, you stated: “In my experience, it’s really not so much of a moral code, as it is an underlying threat (i.e. ‘snitches get stitches’).” …..🤔 Uhhhh… sure… Not like black people could POSSIBLY have any INTEGRITY or make decisions based on their morals… right?!? 🙄😣 I mean, YOU of all people would know… based on your “experience” with… what, exactly? Reading black people’s minds?? 😒 What an ignorant, COMPLETELY SUBJECTIVE assertion to make. But hey, at least you made it clear from the get-go how you feel about the community you’re referring to there. P.S. I agree with your stance on this case being a wrongful conviction, which is always a terrible tragedy no matter if the defendant is black, white, green, or purple. My comment above was just food for thought but I’m still giving you 5 stars because its so important that more people come to understand how wrongful convictions happen. Maybe this story will resonate with the demographic of folks (blue live matter people, etc) who normally refuse to believe the VAST INjustices of the “Justice” System that affect SOOO many impoverished black families who lose their fathers/brothers/uncles, etc. to prison alllll too often over this crap (reverse-engineered investigations, etc). The only anomalous part of this story is that the defendant was a cop. Other than that— Welcome to normal life for black folks in America.

I love... where's the rest?

Where is the rest? We need more... you got 5 stars... why has it stopped?
