No need for a link. It's everywhere. Cincinnati campus cop charged with murder. Video is bad. Prosecutor is right....this moron SHOULDNT have been a cop.
Liberals decry "militarized" training. But...that's EXACTLY the style that keeps people CALM UNDER STRESS.
Liberals decry "racist" standards for police hiring. So...standards are lowered. Which also allows incompetent white cops in also...like this Cincinnati one.
Time to drastically RAISE standards for hiring cops. Time to change training to include lots of high stress training.
Every time we see an incompetent cop who panics or over reacts under stress.....think soft training and low hiring standards.
Funny....Eric Holder actually threatened many Ohio police agencies if they didn't lower standards.
yes there should be higher standards for police, this is not a lib vs con thing. But they should be held to the higher standards throughout their career. They have quite a bit of power and with that they should be held accountable for their actions.
I lived in the uk for the last 3 years, what I noticed is they do not pull people over, there are no quotas. But they do have a camera system, if you break a traffic law, your picture is taken and your license plate and you are mailed your citation. No need to stop and walk up to a "dangerous situation". And one other thing it does is it take the human element out. If they applied this system in the us, they would not have police pulling people over with out of state licenses, and no warnings will be given and the human element is removed, you break a traffic law you pay the fine, period. Courts would not be overwhelmed with hearings, no cop would pull over people based on skin color and these incidents that have been happening would stop for the most part. I think this would generate more money for the precincts because no one can talk their way out of it in court or just issued a warning. And nobody gets shot for a bs trumped up charge.
The Wild West way of doing things should be gone, walking up to a car with a gun is retarded. We have been doing it this way for too long and it is an old school approach that is bad and dangerous for the citizens. A tired cop walking will make mistakes and if all they see is the bad side of the city and citizens then they think all citizens are this way and react and treat people like chattel.
Also the militarized thing is bs. And security forces that acted this way or the McKinley summersault cop, would have been court marshaled and be in jail, no commander would ever allow those in his command to treat people this way. Police are run by proxy and themselves, every arrest should have the mayor and chief involved all hours of the night and day. Similar to a commander in the military. These last 2 incidents the police have lied about what happened. The chief and mayor get paid big bucks let them earn it. Police involved in a shooting should be removed from a police position indefinatly.
