After a year in which the use of lethal force by police officers spurred nationwide protests and bared outrage about the intersection of race and law enforcement in America, California legislators have returned to Sacramento determined to pass laws blunting police violence.

No I would say that would be illegal aliens killing California citizens. This call to action is somewhat ironic in that 3 California State Senators are currently serving prison sentences. All Democrats by the way.
Hey! Here’s an idea! “Curb” criminal violence too while you’re at it!!!
The “crisis of confidence” is about Liberal political leadership.
Why is it that these liberals never try to do anything to protect the public from the criminals? Just who, exactly, do these "representatives" represent?
What we need, is another law! Make crime illegal already!
They won’t protest the dozens of shootings by gang members every month in Los Angeles alone. I think the politicians are getting drug money bribes to look the other way.
Howsabout cutting all the no-knock crap and making THAT illegal??
Seems a bit upside down and backwards considering it’s the criminal violence that brings out the police.
Sheriff Joe continues to wow.
Take away the MRAPs
I concur.
I never understood the no knock raids. The people are inside a home, they are not going anywhere. Call them up and tell them to come outside. If they do not then lob some tear gas inside <- only for violent criminals.
Maybe they should make resisting arrest illegal. Oh wait...
The majority of California voters are more delusional than the French.
Easy fix: amend the state constitution to (a) make police officers personally liable for damages in any civil-rights case, (b) prohibit no-knock raids by civil authorities in any circumstance [with the mandatory punishment, after conviction, of the police involved, the police chief and the authorizing judge evicted from office with all retirement benefits forfeit], and (c) make warrantless searches [upon conviction] entail the forfeiture of retirement benefits and mandatory eviction from office.
Why not just outlaw the police? Trendy Kalifornia should demand action...er...I mean...no action.
The Bolshecrat politicians are more likely to have government checks mailed to the street gangs to provide protection money for the people in the gang areas.
Well, as I understand it the modern model of police is really quite recent.
