The Whistleblower gets in trouble, not the offending LAPD Officers. There is no accountability left in American Police Forces.

Hochman stated that his office was “listening to the impact the case was having on potential whistleblowers” when deciding to scale back the charges, acknowledging that the initial prosecution “sent the wrong message” to the public. While describing the comments by the other officers as “hate speech,” the district attorney noted there was insufficient evidence of a hate crime to bring criminal charges against them.

Fuck Hochman. There should never have been charges, and the racist pigs should have been fired. Charging a good faith whistleblower with any crime is vile. Hochman is lawless, fascist scum.

he maintained that Flores should face consequences for breaking privacy laws. He expressed hope that the decision would encourage future whistleblowers to work alongside prosecutors through authorized channels.

Flores was previously found guilty in a separate internal LAPD inquiry and handed a 22-day suspension without pay

The department also initiated confidential disciplinary proceedings against the officers who made the remarks, but has not confirmed whether any disciplinary action has been enforced.

"We hope this helps more whistleblowers come forward!" says the guy that punished the whistleblower and didn't do shit to the racist trash. 🙄 🙄 🙄

Additionally this misdemeanor sentence is reliant upon Flores "not breaking the law at any time within the year of his probationary period." How much you wanna bet these asshole cops absolutely hound this man for anything and everything? 100% they will stalk this man.

This exemplifies the fundamental issue we have with police in the US

Poor behavior by cops isn't corrected. Anyone holding cops accountable, however, is punished

When good cops sit around letting bad cops do bad things, they all become bad cops. Most officers are unwilling to step in and stop a bad cop due to the culture around policing

Cops just can’t help being a fucking criminal gang. ACAB because the police fucking terrorize and murder any good cop willing to hold them accountable.

ACAB

This is one of those things that always puts me on the fence about two party states. Like on the one hand I understand why you would want everybody to know they’re being recorded especially on like phone calls, on the other hand these cops definitely wouldn’t have said anything if they knew they were being recorded and then this shit happens.

K.. I mean KKK.
