Imagine a state without police…

Wonder why it sucks so bad in the US. Can't find it, but I bet the US ranks very high on cops killed per capita too.

So you think taxpayers should foot the bill for crooked or grossly incompetent cops?

I don’t see the big deal here. All cops have to do is follow the law, and there is no issue with “immunity”. Why would expecting police to follow the constitution and their own procedures lead to an exodus of cops?

I’m actually ok with immunity for reasonable actions that cause harm or damage. But a blanket immunity for total screwups? Hell no. Qualified immunity needs to be.. well…. qualified. There should be a neutral determination to see if it was inside the bounds of procedures. If yes, sorry, immunity applies. If no, sorry Dirty Harry, you’re fired and can possibly be sued.

 

But Dirty Harry was only dirty to the real bad guys.

 

Reform policing and...

1. you'll still get average pay (though many police make damn good money after only several years on the job)
2. Less people will spit at you, shoot you the bird, or otherwise hate you...and less people will have conflicted feelings about police.
3. That's always been the case. But police killings, while tragic, average less than 60 a year, with several hundred attempts, out of tens of millions police interactions with the public.
4. This is untrue. There is no requirement that police "run toward the shooter." Indeed, the supreme court ruled police have no legal duty to protect people.
5. Same as every other job. Reforms can reduce those number of mistakes.

 

If SOME of them didn't act like dicks, they wouldn't get spit on or flipped off. Problem is, the Jackson 5 hit One Bad Apple comes into play here.
Like with most stereotypes, there has to be enough of true behaviors happening for it to get started and cops being dicks is one of those.

 

A state without police?

 

Actually you libbie, more and more police department require a 4 year degree.

 

I’ve been trying to tell you guys. Bill Burr says get a gun!

 

Some of the reforms that should be enacted everywhere:

1. More funding for better and more frequent training;
2. Better and more frequent police outreach programs into the communities they patrol.

 

Lots of false premises there.

-The average cops make almost twice what the average person without a bachelor's degree earns ...
-Run towards the shooters? We've seen the videos ... few do, most dont.
-At any given moment, someone could shoot at me, too. Lots of random and purposeful shootings in this country.
-Spitting on cops is rare and WILL get you arrested, they probably get spit on and/or verbally abuses as much as any other career ... people without arrest power.
-If I screw up my job bad enough, I could also lose everything, too.

Why are cops special, again?

 

Post proves one thing…
You are unworthy of police protection.

 

I'm not sure how anyone could support qualified immunity, you are basically saying cops should be able to do crime
