To: old school

The only thing I ask is that civilian law enforcement be held to the same standards and have to obey the same laws as every other civilian.

That means they should not be allowed to carry or use weapons that are prohibited to other civilians in their same jurisdiction. When off-duty they should have to have the same carry permit as anyone else would have to have.

When they shoot someone who’s just holding a cell phone or when they assault someone who’s getting them on video doing something wrong they should face the same justice that they would impose on anyone else.

And if they conduct warrantless searches then they should face the same consequences as anyone else who commits a felony act of breaking and entering.

I say all of this because how am I supposed to accept the notion of people who supposedly enforce laws that they’re exempt from?
