“Guess you must be an immigrant from some Communist $hit hole.”
72 years old and you still haven’t grown past the strawman argument phase?
1. Police and other government type enforcement units get limited immunity to an almost complete immunity from prosecution during the line of duty.
2. Not only that,, they are given considerable deference from judges, DA’s and politicians.
3. Innocent until proven guilty isn’t working here. There needs to be a deeper scrutiny ... above and beyond so called internal investigations.
4. Non judicial punishment is an acceptable measure to use to combat police abuse.
- Take their guns away. Make them walk beats with night sticks and radios.
- Fire them for the most egregious mistakes.
- No more paid vacations for screwing up. Suspended without pay during investigations. Let their Union pay them, not the public.
Pardon me, ma'am, but what small town do you live in? Because trust me on this, no one who lives in a large city wants their cops disarmed.
Well, this was a quick response to police brutality.
The act was on April 9th of this year. But the problem here is that the “aggrieved party”( who appears to be a nut case) now has $650k of the taxpayers money, but we still don’t know what’s happened to the cops involved. Now, if you have paid out this amount of money, you have to have a good idea of who did what to whom, so why is there a delay? On that score, I agree with you, and the public needs to read exactly what punishment has been given. In this case, for $650k, a number (maybe even all) of the cops need to be fired and tried.
