Federal law can trump (no pun intended) state and local law. Why are Republicans not wanting to vote on the George Floyd Bill in the Senate?well yeah it had to be voted on to be a lawIt was useless because there are no concrete laws in the bill, it is just recommendations and more training and blah, blah, blah, blah.what was useless about it? what should be in the law?No we have already discussed it, it just needs to be put into law. We don't need to listen to Tim Scott present a bunch of useless bullshit that is not going to change a damn thing.don’t we have to discuss what to reform and put in the law?The time for discussing it is over, we have been discussing it for over 100yrs. The time is here to put it into action and that Republican bill that was served up by Tim Scott was nothing but bullshit.we do...but the dems blocked even discussing it in 2020...that’s why we see dem run executives behaving this way
"Louisiana state troopers were captured on body camera video stunning, punching and dragging a Black man as he apologized for leading them on a high-speed chase -- footage of the man’s last moments alive that The Associated Press obtained after authorities refused to release it for two years.
Troopers initially told Greene’s family he died on impact after crashing into a tree during the chase. Only now in the footage obtained by the AP from one trooper's body camera can the public see for the first time some of what happened during the arrest. State Police brass initially argued the troopers’ use of force was justified — “awful but lawful,” as ranking officials described it — and did not open an administrative investigation until 474 days after Greene’s death."
Yea, I know it may look bad for the police to repeatedly lie and file false reports; but none of this would have ever been known about if it wasn't for some meddling emergency room doctor noticing the dead guy still had the taser prongs stuck in his back -- after being told he died from a car crash. But the only person to blame for this is Green himself; he shouldn't have fled and took police on a high-speed chase..and for what? a traffic violation?
The question still remains however; why shouldn't cops be allowed to kill suspects who try to run away or don't follow police orders?? If the police tells you to stop, you stop...if you don't, you die...that simple....Now because of this; the lives of at least 2 officers have been destroyed. The officer who was bragging about choking and beating Mr. Greene and making him spit blood everywhere; that guy was fired for his involvement in this case; and later died hours after finding out he was fired (due to a single vehicle highway crash with karma). The other officer was later arrested for his connection to another police beating -- but as I said; none of this would have happened if we simply made it perfectly legal for cops to kill whoever tries to flee from police or doesn't comply with their orders.Despite repeated attempts by leftist to turn the Executive Branch in one centralized power...we haven't done that in this country. Police are not judges, and juries they don't get to decide guilt and then punishment. So that's why.
They have when it comes to black folks, they operate in any manner that they want to.
Certainly, there are cases in which a police officer can use deadly force, such as when a suspect threatens their lives, or the lives of the public...such as in a high speed chase. However, it appears in this case, the threat was no longer there, as the suspect was caught. Those involved seem to be getting what they deserved.
A 50 hour suspension.
This is one of the main reasons we need police reform in this country.
so not sure what you mean
well there was certainly training and recommmendations to states...since the fed has no power over localities like that
but there were certainly things on a federal law enforcement levela federal law can’t order a state agency to administer federal law.
A federal law can be put in place that pretty much aligns policing from NC to CA.
One, the Dem Senate majority leader hasn’t brought it to the floor
but also because it sets up quotas for the number of people of race and gender an officer needs to stop
and two it takes away immunity protections for officers but not their bosses that make the laws or orders them to endoece the laws
That bill passed the House in June 25, 2020 and here is what republicans stated.
President Donald Trump's administration said he would veto the bill. McConnell has said the bill would not pass the Republican-held chamber.
After the GOP policing bill stalled this week, blocked by Democrats, Trump shrugged.
"If nothing happens with it, it's one of those things," Trump said. "We have different philosophies."
