[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]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 [b]politicians[/b] address this murder?[/quote]

I think it is for our judicial system to address this murder. Not for politicians. [/quote]

There should be legislation in place that problematic cops fired from one department, cannot be fired into another.

This would have prevented this murder.[/quote]

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[/quote]
