People do need to consider other ideas but the GOP have none to consider. You'll note he really doesn't come up with any.
Arguing that the police should not be held accountable when they do wrong is not the answer.
The opposite of undermining the police so that more black people die, is a good idea for a candidate.
That you spin it as NOT holding them accountable, shows that the bar for ideas, is NOT to be dishonest and suicidal.
It's right in the article. He is for keeping the idea of "qualified immunity" alive. That is a policy that allows the police to get away with violating our rights.
Why is it you feel a representative of the government should not be held accountable when they violate our rights?
Because in effect it opens up cops to idiot judges and juries who are not going to give them fair trials.
and they will know it.
You do this, and every intelligent cop, will quite or retire. You will only have dumb people as cops, who do not realize how exposed they are.
Our civil rights have long been established. No one is denying that they are violated. The argument is that we will not hold the police accountable for violating them. When one group is shown to be above the law there really is no legitimate law.
Again, your argument is that unless we allow the police to violate our rights we can not have a police force. OK, then that will be it.
I will be the first to condemn police violating rights. You know me. I hate that statist shit.
But, were is the line? What is expected? We have to decide what role police will have and how they go about it.
Maybe it's because of racial stereotypes, but I have never had a bad experience with police. Of course, I have never treated them with contempt or been hostile during any interaction.
Is there a racial stereotype that we need to overcome? YES. Can we do it when those of that stereotyped group constantly treat police officers with hostility and contempt? NO!!!
