[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For every egregious police act, can we also post every single good police act that occurred at that very same moment in time across our fifty states? Just for proportionality? I'm guessing if this is criminal--it's on video, will be investigated, and justice will be done. Will all the good police who were doing good work at the same time get commendations? Doubtful.[/quote]

But police are supposed to do good things and act appropriately. It shouldn't be newsworthy. [/quote]

Or maybe it should. Because the preponderance of police violence stories is not proportional to the scale of these actual events. If we published every good police act that occurred at the exact same moment, it might be a good thing to demonstrate the ratio. This act will be addressed if it was illegal, but all the legal behavior should be recognized as well.[/quote]

It won't be addressed unless we change oversight for police.  These should be investigated independently.  You know who investigated shootings by police?  The same police department!  Do you see a potential issue here?  There's evidence it's a big fucking issue.[/quote]

Yes, I do. So advocate for that with your politicians. And I'd like to know who you would like to have investigate? A rapid federal response team that's unafiliated? Anyone who investigates policing is part of policing, but I can understand wanting a remove. However, your concern for how these bad apples are investigated is apart from the fact that these bad apples are few and far between.  If you read articles about botched surgery every day you would never, ever want to go under the knife.[/quote]

Oh okay thanks for the instructions.  I am advocating.  Maybe you should do the same.  And yes, I think it should be investigated by a separate entity.  The state can appoint independent people to do it (there are plenty of retired and other people with these skills and since it's SOOO rare to you, that shouldn't be a burden) or it should be done federally.[/quote]
