"Gomez was taken off the force after trying report all the illegal shit the bad cops, aka all the other cops, are doing."
There's no such thing as a good cop, so he stopped existing.
I didn't get it at first either. Usually this artists comics are a little more obvious.
This is why cops always go with bad cop worse cop.
The entire procedure is torture and will automatically make courts invalidate any evidence cops get doing it in a huge number of countries.
The US is a crazy place.
The point of the tactic (part of the Reid technique,) isn’t to get evidence. It’s to get a confession.
The problem is it works by scaring the shit out of the subject in the hopes that they confess to the first person to show some sympathy.
Which, it does work. People subjected to it will eventually confess. The problem is… they may not have actually done it and they’re afraid of all the things bad cop is threatening them with.
It’s also very easy to manipulate someone’s understanding of what happened when they’re in the high stress of an aggressive interrogation.
And just for the record- the cops are allowed to lie to you (at least in the us.), so they can tell you they have evidence they don’t have etc. which is why you need to avail yourself of a lawyer… and say nothing to them.
Yes, I always dismissed it thinking that kind of behavior is a movie thing. But after looking, it looks like the majoritarian way your justice system works is by confessions achieved under torture or extortion.
It's not supposed to work like that. Courts automatically throwing out evidence gathered that way is more common than democratic governments.
Ah, the ol' "cop pretending to be a human being with empathy / just a typical mask off cop" routine
ACAB?

White people invented crime lmao
ACABC, thus ACABCadabra alakazam.

You know, thinking about it, if it works like that then maybe giving the bad cop an existential crisis is a bad idea? I feel like this comic created supervillain cop.
