Imperfect liberals demanding that all cops be perfect.....all the time....
you don't have to be perfect to know when an unarmed person is walking away from you that he doesn't need to be hit with a ******* taser
That's the issue. The man had the audacity to walk away from him whether or not he was even capable of understanding.
Deaf and not hear a command? Taser him.
California cops Taser deaf man, beat him into unconsciousness as he tries to use sign language: lawsuit.
Having a serious medical issue and not properly responding? Taser him.
Fredericksburg settles lawsuit alleging excessive force in use of Taser against motorist
Not all cops are bad.
There are enough bad ones to make the good ones have to deal with the consequences of not removing the bad ones.
That's all people are saying. Fire the bad cops. Get good ones in there to do their jobs properly.
The bad ones make the job very hard to do for the good ones. I would think they would want the bad ones gone so they can properly do their jobs without having to worry about the people not trusting them.
Here's a good place to start, tear down the blue wall of silence.
Another good thing to do is stop hiring cops who lie through their teeth.
The Supreme Court didn't make it any easier by ruling in the scalia years that no knock and no announcement that they are cops is legal. That really has hurt cops and has caused innocent people to be harmed or killed.
The supreme court ruling that all a cop has to say is they felt threatened to be able to kill someone has also harmed the police.
Some of the far right conservative supreme court rulings in the past have harmed the police and the people of our nation.
Its tough to fire the bad ones, the unions really fight hard to keep the officer employed. In Minneapolis, the union was pushing for reinstatement of all four involved with Floyd. The union needs to be broken to get anything accomplished in getting rid of the bad cops.
Whatever happened to moderation?
Whatever happened to you don't throw the baby out with the bath water?
Why does everything have to be one extreme or the other? Haven't you learned by now that only guarantees the problem never gets resolved and usually gets worse?
Just like it's necessary to get rid of the bad cops and not the whole police force, it's not necessary to break a union to get rid of the people who aren't doing the right thing running the union.
The union needs better leadership. Just like the police force needs better leadership.
Can't both be preserved while removing what makes it broken? Won't fixing the problem be better than destroying both institutions?
This nation needs good unions. Not remove or break the unions.
Just like this nation needs good police. Not remove the police.
