[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dont care if she does police ride-a-longs, or any of the other questions here.

I do care if she is approaching the issue of policing reform with a predetermined stance/position- which is what I think is happening.  [/quote]

Every single Councilmember approaches this issue with a predetermined stance/position which is based in large part on how beholden they are to the FOP vs progressive activitists[/quote]

The FOP had the state and county elected officials at their service for many years and got them to pass laws that prevented the removal of bad officers and aided in sweeping misconduct under the rug. [b]Then egregious misconduct happened [/b]and the pendulum swung back violently. There’s a lesson in here for other lobbyists who find themselves in favor at any given time: moderate. Given how many renter protection laws are swirling around, it looks like developers are going to have their turns next, and it couldn’t happen fast enough to a better group of people. [/quote]

I agree with all of what you've written but the bolded.  What egregious misconduct has happened that hasn't resulted in discipline?[/quote]

A lot of people got rough rides before Freddy Gray. All of those rough rides were egregious misconduct but no one died so it got swept under the rug. The consequence of Freddy Gray’s rough ride could not be ignored. Inevitably, systems that are out of balance lead to shocking events that become causes for reform. [/quote]
