Question E

[Jonetta]

Why do you suppose no one reported Nolasco’s behavior during that training session or object when it happened?

[Sharon]

The recruits wouldn't report it because they wouldn't take a chance of getting kicked out.

His fellow trainers follow the "blue line" rules and protect one another.

[Jonetta]

This was just stupid. I’ll never understand why the blue line doesn’t include standing up for their own when they’re done wrong. Self examination would go a long way in figuring this stuff out. Protecting men like Nolasco within their own ranks hurts them worse.

[Sharon]

It is better now, in my opinion. In general, the younger generation sees actions like this as inappropriate and report it.

[Jonetta]

That’s good news, Sharon!

[~Melissa~]

That is good news, Sharon, that the younger generation report it. Too many years of looking away and protecting the brothers in blue. As a officer of the law you are supposed to stand for whats right and against wrong doing - even if it is your fellow officers that are the wrong doers.

I figured the others were afraid to get kicked out if they talked. However, when Tracy got called in to talk to the superiors - if it hadn't gone her way I hope someone would've had the balls to speak up for her and Jennifer.

[Robin]

I was thinking the same thing, Melissa. The people questioning Tracy about her actions toward Nolasco should also be asking the recruits that witnessed it. I'm hoping more than one of them would have told exactly how Nolasco "searched" Jennifer, then Tracy.

[Karen ♐]

I may have the spelling wrong but...bros before hoes...they call it the brotherhood for a very good reason.

When they found out what really happened from Tracy, they should have looked into this further. Has he done this before with other trainees?

[Charlene]

There were no previous female trainees, were there? So, no situation before this to report, if memory serves.

[Jonetta]

No, Tracy and Jennifer were the first.
