“our friends in the African-American community”

Interesting choice of words.

divisions between our friends in the African-American community and law enforcement
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Ignoring the glaringly obvious distinction that there is required to be a division between law enforcement and criminal lawbreakers. Without that division, law enforcement is not needed. But of course they had to single out the AA’s, ignoring all the other criminal ethnicities out there. Pandering gutless politicians.

Sounds good but down the road you will have a problem, higher standards will mean you find yourself in trouble unless you lower those standards for specific minority groups, no matter what you do even if from the Governor on down are all minorities you will still be RACIST, a vicious liberal progressive communist circle.

I don’t think it is a problem having state oversight. However, the more centralized it is the more risk of corruption you get. He needs to be sure there is a balance of power and ideological tension or he might find that rather than make things better, his standards board affords a lot of opportunity to make things worse. Human natures being what it is, power easily corrupts people. Those with no power are just as easily corrupted (see Baltimore) which is dangerous, just not as dangerous.

What an idiot.

Not all communities are the same and police should be able to react appropriately according to their own experience in those communities.

A better method of control is to hold every individual responsible for the use of their firearm and not so much emphasis on 'Qualified Immunity'. Let them be criminally prosecuted individually if their action(s) were suspect.

They too, individually, should be subject to the court system, just as non-government individuals are. Our 'Justice System' had become perverted and must be straightened out... somehow. Suggestions ?
