CopDB allows anyone to make an account and start submitting data. Currently only for data on cops in Utah, but that shouod change once there are more moderators.<p>Also theres blog associated with the project at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;copdb.org" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;copdb.org</a> and docs at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.copdb.org" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.copdb.org</a>

The intent was probably good, at some point.<p>But when the logo is a pig, text states pigs, bastards and other names for police then it comes off as another hater-site by someone with an axe to grind.<p>I presume the site operator and the community belongs to the ACAB-crowd, i.e. those who are set of the idea that there are no and will never be any good cops.

Would this site make the world a better place, or, at least, not make it even worse? I&#x27;m not sure.

This is messed up, to put it politely.

I expect the website operator will be charged with intimidating police officers or face a similar federal charge.
