Police shootings have decreased steadily for decades.
What?
Why not raid the entry standards and make it much easier to get rid of bad cops?
A Chicago paper writing about Police shootings?
I would wager it’s a lot less than the non-Police shootings in that city.
Heck, why not give them cap pistols - as far as the Left-Wng nut jobs are concerned, they are every bit as scary as a real weapon. Or better, yet - half eaten pop tarts - that way they can have a snack if the bad guy doesn’t kill them.
maybe they should have one bullet in their shirt pocket, seemed to work for Barney, he never killed anyone.
Multiple body cams that cannot be disabled are the quick route to reducing misconduct.
Good cops will love them, bad cops will hate them.
Only a court order should be able to decrypt the stored video/audio.... this is needed as officers should have privacy when not directly engaging with the public. Only the time period of actual confrontation should ever be decrypted.
I’d hate to be a cop sitting in my car chatting with a fellow officer over lunch and worrying about who might hear our private conversation.
Get criminal thugs off the streets.
What liberals really complain about is white cops having the chutzpah to defend their lives.
They’d rather have dead white cops than dead black thugs.
Now who’s racist?
If resisting arrest was punishable by being subdued with a night stick or billy, the “abuse “ would swiftly end.
The right to resist should be come the right to get beat upon
A beyond stupid idea, I guess these knuckleheads have never heard of a double tap.
Let me break into your house and have the first bullet in your gun, that’s if you have one, be a dummy. Your band, my bang, you’re dead!
“Police in Britain, Ireland, Norway, Iceland and New Zealand ...”
How much of a pretzel am I expected to twist myself into so as to not notice it?
Here’s another fantastic idea. Send all the cops home and fend for yourself.
Lets make it a law so that the gangs need a not live bullet in the chamber of their guns so stop gang killing!/s
Sounds like a threat.
Maybe stop behaving like animals would help?
And stop taunting cops?
The author needs to spend a month in a police uniform, where he would endure being kicked, punched, spit upon, wrestled, shoved, and be called ever name in the book by dirty foul smelling creeps with a bad attitude.
Then perhaps he’d understand why they carry guns.
Perhaps then he’d also understand why people cross the street to avoid punks in hoodies and knee high pants.
And perhaps he’d understand why our jails are full of certain demographic groups.
Is this satire? If it is not satire, then it just goes to show how Liberals are always ready to mess things up. Such a measure would get cops killed, period. If you want to control the small minority of police officers who are bad people, then just mandate body cameras that are tamper-proof. That will stop the few bad cops. But having cops go around with, basically, a snap cap in their gun, is wrong.

Apparently the author has never fired a semi-automatic pistol. If you know the first round is a blank, then the second round is definitely less than a second behind it.
