I like that idea. Perhaps itll clean up the NDs and other FA problems we read about in the news re police. At least force them to be competant w/ a FA before sending them out in public.

Yes. We’ve had this argument before. Make a long story short, you eventually call me stupid and I tell you to pack sand.

Cops with questionable shootings and turned off/malfunctioning body cameras should have their Police carry privileges suspended.

White people who have never lived in a black community can be so totally clueless... Rather than listening to black elites who feed off the corruption ... or to paid Soros fake ‘protesters’... she should go down to the black community and knock on 40 randomly chosen doors and talk to people who live there... NOT only to 22 year old men who are unemployed and filled with rage, but with everyday black people living in the community.

It’s not a terrible idea. Have an oddball shooting, caught with inactive camera, get police carry rights revoked for a year or so. No review, no appeal, automatic.

1. What is an oddball shooting?
2. Cameras can't malfunction?
3. Police carry rights revoked based on the above?
4. No review?
5. No appeal?
6. Automatic?

If you want to address what an officer has done and advocate for suspension or him being fired, I'm all for it.

If the circumstances warrant, he should be pulled off the street pending an investigation. He shouldn't unilaterally have any rights removed until it has been proven he did something outside the law.

After a review, if he has been deemed to be guilty of an infraction, then fire him, and take any legal actions needed.

You probably meant him to be fired, but you stated only to have his carry rights removed. That could leave him in the field unarmed.

If he's still out there, he needs to be armed.

Like the dude in South Carolina shooting the 50 year old overweight black dude in the back. If he wasn't caught on film he would have got off because of the deference given to cops in the line of duty.

Can’t agree to having a guy unarmed still on the job.

Fire him or let him have his weapon.

Please keep me on the ping list. This is hydterical!

I agree with the poster above me, only hire the Greenies to protect us. I can protect myself, thank you, but for those who think “talking” to those creeps is better, give the LEOs a short break from what they live through every danged day of their lives. Go for it!

“Green Party Nominee Wants To ‘Explore’ Disarming Police Officers”

This would be OK if we were disarming federal employees of the IRS, DOE, BLM, ATF, NOAA, NASA ...

Federal employees should not be armed except maybe the FBI. If they have enforcement to do, they should be required to use sheriffs and police in the State where they are doing enforcement.
