The cops should be dealt with the same way Reagan dealt with the air traffic controllers. Fire all their asses and hire new ones.
The Atlanta police officers called in sick, they aren't on strike.
Big difference.
It would have to be proven that each individual officer wasn't sick in order to fire them.
I don't think that such an investigation would do much for morale in a city that is falling apart.
Do you think all 170 just got sick?
I think they got sick and tired of getting fucked over, most of them are good cops. I think they sent a message to Atlanta: you need us. And we wouldn't have the bad cops still on the force if the city leadership actually did their jobs instead of sucking up to the police union.
Question: whose fault is it that their isn't a ban on choke holds in Atlanta or any other city, big and small?
Question: whose fault is it when a bad cop with 18 or so complaints is still on the force and kills somebody?
Question: whose fault is it that an officer's past misconduct is not allowed or is expunged and can't be used in the next violation/complaint?
Answer to all 3: The Democrats who run our major cities and have done so for decades. And quite frankly also the voters who are stupid enough to keep voting for the same party without getting results.
