No one is going to want to be a cop soon.

Of course not - It is legal in all of Canada -and they still seem to be functioning

IMO - The point of policy should be to minimize the number of negative interactions between police and citizens. What the Federal legislation currently does is maximize these negative interactions by criminalizing a ridiculously large segment of the population - for no good reason.

Watching the various Drug Czar's try and defend the Schedule 1 status - putting it on the same level as Heroin - is an exercise in absurdity.

 

Telling cops they can't kill black suspects just because they're black is "tying their hands behind their backs"?????

For a constitutional amendment that guarantees the "right" to lynching?

 

No it has to do with cops who was lifers that I heard personally say "I remember the gods old days when you could take a ****** out in back of a building and beat him and no one would say anything."

Yeah, I heard more than one cop say that.

 

No putting them into a position where they can’t be violent even when the situation calls for it for fear that they’ll get labeled a racist is a problem.

 

What’s that got to do with a nice non racist guy suddenly becoming a racist after he became a cop? I assume he wouldn’t consider that the good old days. The more logical conclusion is that his racism is a function of the criminals he deals with every day.

 

Counterfeiting was a federal crime early on, but there was very little federal law enforcement before the war on drugs began in 1914.
Repealing 1/2 of the U.S.Code would be a good first step toward real criminal justice reform.

 

You know what a strawman is right? Silly question, of course you don’t.

 

Who has told them they can't be violent when the situation calls for it?

Quote!!

You won't, of course. Nobody has said anything even remotely close to that. Except in the wingnut media echo-chamber, of course.

 

Yep! And with the post you quote I completely ridiculed the one that the poster I was responding to made!

Thanks for noticing!

 

Yeah, that’s not what happened. But whatever helps you get thru the day.

 

There are dozens of examples I can provide where cops have been unjustly accused of being racist for using strong arm tactics against blacks. That’s not debatable, that’s a simple fact.

And today we have two cops with a total of seven DAYS on the job who are up for accessory to murder. Are you honestly going to sit here and try to make the argument that even good cops arent worried their actions may be misconstrued and have them sent to prison?

 

I'm sure. And there are cases in which they allowed to go free even though deserved to be accused.

But nobody is advocating for any of that to happen.

What is it Fox is telling you? Be clear!

I have no idea who you're talking about. Cops who can't control their racism should be worried. If that's what you are referring to. But I honestly don't know what it is you mean. Maybe if you give me an example of a cop who has been unfairly convicted of a crime I might be able to understand better what it is. Give me a link and I'll take a look.

 

Yeah, he's saying murder is okay for new cops because they don't know any better.

And he's probably right. There is the problem in a nutshell. Even after just being trained, they don't know it is illegal to slowly and methodically execute people for minor crimes. Any 10 year old knows that but it eludes new cops.

 

Rookies in the military and organizations modeled on the military can never be counted on to challenge the hardened veterans they are trained to follow.
Yet another reason to eliminate the progressive professional police department model for policing American communities. It was a mistake from the start.

 

Are these supposed to be replies to me, because one had no quotation and in the other you quoted yourself so I'm not sure.
