WATCH: Hero Cop Tells the Truth, Holding Police Accountable is Not Anti-Cop, It's "Anti Bul

• http://thefreethoughtproject.com

Hero cop Dominick Izzo witnessed such expansive corruption in his department, he shattered the notorious Blue Wall of Silence to blow the whistle, but — like nearly all officers who break ranks attempting to hold bad cops accountable — found himself the subject of false allegations and under suspension for the effort.

Now — after earning the scorn of Round Lake Park, Illinois, Police Chief George Filenko and other officers stridently loyal to the Thin Blue Line — Izzo has come forward again to set the record straight about alternative media outlets who report on police misconduct.

Naming The Free Thought Project, Police the Police, End the Drug War, and others in a recent live video on Facebook, Izzo emphatically asserted,

"They're not anti-cop. They are anti-bullshit — anti-illegal behavior."

Izzo's followers, comprised primarily of current and former law enforcement officers — some supportive, some more loyal to the badge than the imperative to call out misbehavior lurking behind it — harbor misperceptions about factual reporting on incidents of police misconduct.

While seemingly countless officers brutalize, shoot, and even kill with reckless indiscretion — and under near impunity, given the paltry rate of conviction for legitimate misconduct — accurate media coverage still comes under fire by cops who'd like to the the Boys In Blue can do no wrong.

Izzo addresses fellow officers in the video — particularly those willing to step over the Thin Blue Line as he did — imploring them to understand so-called "anti-cop" forums like The Free Thought Project are simply mischaracterized and are supportive of anyone in law enforcement holding wrongdoers accountable.

Izzo believes accurate reporting on police misconduct and the occupation of law enforcement are not mutually exclusive.
