    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.

    Also theres blog associated with the project at https://copdb.org and docs at https://docs.copdb.org

    The intent was probably good, at some point.

    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.

    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'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.
