Sure the Govt is held accountable when that happens..in criminal cases the evidence found in violation of the law is tossed. If you want the Govt held accountable Civilly, then you need to remove Sovereign Immunity....there has been in our system, so ways around that, one is Qualified Immunity. So are you arguing that all Sovereign Immunity should be abolished? So that all Govt can be held accountable, and that all of it's agents can be held accountable personally?When a police officer violates the law they are held accountable too...I know of a couple officers, well former officers now, that got arrested for things....one a DUI, one an domestic A&B.I don't disagree....and people, including the Govt violate people's rights daily...that's why we have a Court system to address those issues.so death is quite rare. your claim the violence starts with them seems to quickly fallen apartHow many interactions with the public do the police have with citizens on a daily bases?The analyst group Public Citizen counted 991 people killed by police in the U.S. last year. They tweeted that there were only 18 days where the police did not kill someone in 2020.
And we wonder why we are such a violent country. It starts at the top.
Quite a few which would make one wonder how many times they violated the rights of someone that never led to their deaths.
Just because every instance of violence and a violation of people's civil rights do not end in death does not mean it doesn't need addressed.
But I thought we were discussing police shootings.
No. We are discussing the police. They have to learn what they legally can and can not do or face personal consequences just like anyone else.
Hmmm, seems to me it's the people that need to learn what they legally can and can't do. If they did we wouldn't need the police.
When the people violate out laws they are personally held accountable. That should be the standard for all.
They have committed perjury forever and not held accountable. They have simply made up evidence to convict people and were not held accountable. The argument over and over to the police violating a persons civil rights is to just allow it and allow the courts to sort it out. No.
I am not sure what you are suggesting if we don't have Court sort out disputes on issues...who then?
