(14,572 posts)keep the House, we need MASSIVE AND INTRUSIVE reform of all police departments throughout the US. Body cams, pull the teeth of the unions with civilian oversight - Unions can and should negotiate good wages, pensions and so on, but they should NOT be able to put bad cops back on the street - demilitarization, massive cultural sensitivity, implicit bias and community policing training, clean the white supremacists out of there, and other reforms as the need arises.
And get rid of their idea they are at war and we are the enemy, and replace it with 'serve and protect.'
NO POLICE, WHO HAVE SWORN TO UPHOLD THE LAW, SHOULD EVER, EVER, EVER MISBEHAVE IN THIS EGREGIOUS WAY. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE COPS NEED TO BE FIRED IMMEDIATELY AND CHARGES PRESSED FOR OBSTRUCTING JUSTICE. WE DON'T NEED WHITE SUPREMACIST COPS.
