SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California is changing its standards for when police can kill under a law signed Monday by Gov. Gavin Newsom, as it tries to deter police shootings of young minority men that have roiled the nation.
"We are doing something today that stretches the boundary of possibility and sends a message to people all across this country that they can do more and they can do better to meet this moment," Newsom said as he stood alongside family members of people killed by police.

They can only shoot white people.
Good luck CA in Maintaining the lawn Forssman. Which person in their right mind would want to work for idiots like this guy? The priority is keeping law-enforcement safe, not criminals.
CC and good training is an option.
I am assuming that the dead relatives of these families were not committing a crime, were not armed, and were studying for their PhD’s.
It’s time to find a new line of work, boys. Let the animals police themselves.
Just in time before they start enforcing red flag laws.
This is insanity, there’s no other way to describe it. These virtue signaling idiots are going to destroy their State.
Going by who commits the crimes it would seem that young “minority” males should be shot in greater proportion simple because they make a a greater proportion of violent criminals than would be indicated by the overall fraction of “minority” people in the population.
Informal guidance among the police: Stay in the station house; don’t respond to other than the most dramatic reports; ask the survivors to come down and fill out the paperwork.
Why do the police continue to work under these conditions. I would go to another state.
Do these morons even attempt to think these things through? Because they just rendered all police officers in CA much easier to kill.
This is the kind of crap that eventually allows a dictator like Hitler to come into power.
Maybe he also needs to make a new law ‘limiting the number of violent crimes and/or felonies a criminal can legally do’ in the great state of California.
Handcuffing the police.
Breakin at your house, who you gonna call? Antifa? The Manson Family? Ghostbusters?
Anarchy is no way to run a modern police state.
“stretches the boundary of possibility and sends a message to people all across this country that they can do more and they can do better to meet this moment” ???

that means that cops that can leave CA and get another gig will, leaving (to some degree or other) the ones who shoot first and ask questions later.
in other words, this will cause the quality of an average cop to decline.
“Results: More Police officers needlessly killed or unjustly prosecuted.”
Exactly. Virtue signaling and violence signaling. Music to a criminal’s ears.
