Is your family member "one of the good cops"?

If that's the case, then they'd intervene if they witnessed police brutality, like Cariol Horne did.

But she was beaten and fired for it, and she lost her pension.

And if you're not afraid of the same thing happening to your family member, then maybe they're not as good of a cop as you say they are.

A black officer stepped in when a white cop had a suspect in a chokehold. She was fired and the city wants an investigation

At the time, Officer Cariol Horne had served 19 of the 20 years needed to receive her pension, a spokesperson for Horne told CNN. But Horne was fired for intervening and did not qualify for her pension, the city said.

The Buffalo Common Council is pushing for change in the city's police department, some longstanding issues and some growing out of the current string of protests across the world about police violence. While the Council met virtually Tuesday, members knew some of the most significant events of recent weeks have occurred right out front of City Hall on Niagara Square, as city police squared off with protesters. As police officials watched from near the top of the new headquarters, sometimes police and protesters took a knee together and sometimes it turned violent. That included Thursday, when a local activist was put in the hospital after an incident with two officers who now face felony assault charges. Council Majority Leader and retired cop David Rivera said cops face punishment for a bad record. "If you use physical force that isn't warranted, they can go into your file. If you have a number of cases in your file, they can go into your file and it can be used against you. And that is a deterrent, believe it or not," Rivera said. "When I went through the academy, I was shaken by things that can happen, the negative things that can happen to a police officer if they do the wrong thing." That is particularly true now, as the New York State Legislature repealed 50-a, the security lock on records of police misconduct and discipline. Once signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, it would open all information about an officer, from children to bad behavior, to public view. That is supported in the Council. Lawmakers spent about an hour Tuesday talking about issues over which it has some control, like changing police procedures to protect officers who stop other officers from violent acts — what is called the duty to intervene — and asking questions of the department's command officers. That is why the Council voted to ask the State Attorney General to take another look at the Cariol Horne case. Horne maintains she was fired as an officer for intervening to stop another officer from attacking someone who was just arrested. She also lost her chance for a pension. The other officer eventually did some jail time in a different attack and is retired on his pension. #cariolhorne https://www.instagram.com/p/CBVbIT3nok9/?igshid=1k50f1v8uqgby
