End qualified immunity, require them to have individual, personal bonds, just like any remodel contractor Joe Schmoe or plumber, or electrician. The insurance industry will run up the bad one’s bond costs so quick it will make your head spin, and out they go. No bond, no job. You can provide them with the average bond price as a stipend and once they go over that, it comes out of their own pockets. Watch them become Patrick Swayze in Roadhouse immediately. Be nice.
I could not agree with you more.
That issue was actually another thing the courts made up out of thin air.
Did you see the latest vid of the Santa Fe TX cops who took down a lady who was dropping off her child at school? Het crime? She went the wrong way at the drop off.
So what’d they do? They took her down, handcuffed her and held her down with her face in a nest of fire ants. She pleaded with them telling them to at least get her away from there. They quit counting the bites at over 300.
Then the one were a woman cop held a cuffed black man on the hood of the cruiser and tazed him for a long period of time...in AL.
I have two nephews on police forces in the upper Midwest. I have schooled them myself on civil rights, as much as I could, since neither of them had any instruction in school. My best friend was a police officer and knew the civil rights because we all talked about it often.
I had one cousin, sheriff of a county in N Wisconsin for 16 years. Interestingly, they seldom had cases of drunken driving go to court. They simply gave the drivers a ride home and told them that they could pick up the car the next day at the impound yard after they pay the towing fee and impoundment fee. The judges loved it..didn’t have to put up with excessive court cases for drinking and driving. They gave the drivers two chances. The third time if they were caught..to jail they went along with the prior records.
Had two great uncles on sheriff depts back in the early 1900s.
