So what you’re suggesting as long as cops and their unions get what they want and continue to be paid and rewarded to enforce them, they’ll continue to do exactly what they’re told?
All because the more punitive laws created, the more tax money they get?
Hmmm.
BTW, I never ever once saw any national, highly public movement like that?
Can I see the link?
Thanks

LOL!
The popo is not your friend.
Amen to that!
To paint cops or laws with a broad brush is like blaming Big Oil, Big Insurance, Big Medicine or Big Fast Food. It lets piss ants rant about the injustices they bring on themselves.
The police didn’t become an adversary to the people until the people decided to have them become their nanny and then didn’t like nanny’s rules.
Until we value and accept individual responsibility, no amount of bad legislation or enforcement of the same is going to fix lazy, bad values.
They are called Oath Keepers (and I can’t cut and paste from this device).
So perhaps the thing to do is to clean up the legal environment in which the police operate, and BTW, the lions share of that is going to be a rat’s nest of precedent law. Our lovely lawyerly representatives routinely write code so full of holes that the real meaning of the law is hammered out by the courts far from the prying eyes of the voters. Everything on the books is interpreted through this lens, so it really is a matter of what “is” is :(
Get real...
There are also many good nurses and some that should have never become nurses. The same with teachers
Yea on I-75 going through Valdosta to Tifton where they hide on the overpasses and off ramps.
It’s one place no one wants to speed and yes if I got caught speeding then it is my fault as I knew the speed limit.
I highly doubt that those against the death penalty ever considered this as an outcome that would gradually become the case.....not thinking so much of the terrorist drama currently unfolding but of many other instances where the MO seems to be more of a 'shoot first and ask questions later' than it ever has been in the past.
Disagree, the real problem is black crime. For a so called minority, the blacks are responsible for an overwhelming amount of violent crime. Hence they will have more interactions with police.
There were some speed traps many years here in my town, where the cops set at the bottom of of some hills. You practically had to ride your brakes all the way down so you were able to keep the speed limit. One of the judges here in our courthouse made them stop.
If “a spotless record” can be so effortlessly besmirched, I would submit that “record” carries no weight then as a measure of one’s character. Jesus Christ was, after all, a “criminal”.
Exactly
