If you are a non-abusive cop, what piece of this legislation is offensive or frightening?

With specifics, please.

If you're a law-abiding citizen, no worries.

The union wall of shielding people from discipline is a much bigger problem than any blue wall of silence.

That isn't what the post above was addressing.

The "not all cops" posts are tiresome. That is what the post above was addressing.

Who keeps voting for the psychopath union leaders?

The cops.

If 99 men meet with one Nazi, there you have 100 Nazis.

Fascinating.

Does this also mean that if 99 democrats meet with one Marxist, you have 100 Marxists?


“No! That’s totally different!!!”

IDK. I mean, I've seen this actually happen with neo-Nazis and the GOP. But I don't know any Marxists.

Some allies you turned out to be.

One can be allies of good cops, AND want the bad ones to be fired.

+1 AND expect people to obey laws and not engage in criminal behavior.

gunning down car thieves. Not saying it's justified, but wanetd to correct that for you ^

Yes, because the punishment for trying to break into a car should be death, and an off duty police officer is the judge and jury.

Exactly. He doesn't get to shoot someone for stealing a car (that wasn't even his!) plus the footage of him brandishing a gun earlier this year at a homeless woman in the lobby of the building - this dude was itching for the opportunity to shoot someone.

What should the protocol be for stopping car thieves who are repeat criminals?

Every bad cop is covered for by all the cops around him. Those cops don't get a pass because they themselves did not do the bad thing. I should not be surprised by this thinking. You are the same person who thinks that if you didn't say or do the racist thing, you were just in the room and sat silently while it happened, that you aren't also part of the problem. We are doomed.

Summary execution, I guess.

Are you someone who thinks arresting and releasing is appropriate? Maybe just give them the car?

Well, the Takoma Park chief of police says that, when you see someone who you think is stealing a car, the protocol should be: call 911. So I'll go with that.

I think the criminal justice system, while imperfect in many ways, is superior to giving cops a license to shoot nonviolent offenders on sight. I think most Americans would agree.
