On Monday, police will release the footage showing Sonya Massey being shot in the face by police after calling 911 for help.
In a political environment that is so polarized, how will our nation's politicians address this murder? |
| The policeman who shot her is in jail without bail. Is there a purpose to your post? |
+1 For first degree murder! https://www.sj-r.com/story/news/crime/2024/07/18/the-sheriffs-deputy-shot-three-times-striking-the-woman-once-in-the-face/74453949007/ |
I’d like to know how these clowns get hired as cops in the first place. |
I think it is for our judicial system to address this murder. Not for politicians. |
|
This shows me that we need better screening of people that we allow to have law enforcement roles, and that we need better training for law enforcement.
It's astounding that after all that's happened, all of the LEO abuses, departments still haven't learned a damn thing. |
There should be legislation in place that problematic cops fired from one department, cannot be fired into another. This would have prevented this murder. |
I disagree. These problems keep happening again and again. They are preventable. Courts can only deal with them after someone's been shot. |
Maybe we need a national "blackball" list for officers who have crossed the line too many times. They should be removed from law enforcement, prevented from ever serving in law enforcement, and instead take up some other career that does not put them in a position to abuse others ever again. |
Hard to get good cops in a lot of places after all the attacks on cops. |
Like politics?
|
So they hire killers instead? |
The payments to the family's should be in the hundreds of millions. Some people only understand that they need to change when it hurts their financial portfolio. When a city cannot buy insurance due to the bad cops, they will find a way to stop hiring bad cops. |
+1 We need a healthy and safe police force that protects all of us. I’m White. I’ve never had to worry about calling the police and I say on every one of these threads that that should be a basic tenet of modern society, not a privilege. It’s pretty clear that some laws need to be passed around policing and that oversight needs to be moved from within the force to outside of it. For example: the Washington Post ran an article a month or so ago about all the police officers who sexually abuse children who are entrusted to their care. It was disgusting. Read it and literally weep, so many children broken by officers in whom trust, whether implicit in the basic relationship between officer and citizens or explicit as in sometimes the police were supposed to be acting as mentors, had been placed. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/interactive/2024/police-officers-child-sexual-abuse-in-america/?itid=mr_1 |

I think the cop should be tried by a court . . . oh wait he’s already been charged.
