So what's the solution? Clearly we can't get rid of cops. Any solutions requires more taxes.
My proposed solution: cops must wear cameras at all times. Any instance of a cop not wearing a camera results in automatic suspension/dismissal from the force. All incidents are reviewed by a centralized place (not local PD) tasked specifically for this issue.
We also should have a developmental program for cops (like baseball or nbdl). To be an officer you have to first be a community security patrol officer (eg walk around the community for 2 years) before you are allowed to make arrests or have a gun. They should have no power at this time except to be the eyes and ears and to call in anything suspicious.
Can't hate em much when that's who I call when **** goes down.
**** em all [emoji]128405[/emoji]
I'll bet that most of you who have had these bad experiences with cops brought it upon themselves. Honestly, if you're cool with the cops they're cool with you.
People are always talking about cops being disrespectful and stuff. They're not there to be your friends, they're there to "protect and serve."
Would you like them to say "May I please have your liscense and registration?" Why not have em wipe your +!+ for you?
You guys assume the moment you hear the siren that you're gonna be on the news on some Rodney King type steez. That's not always the case.
You got a badge, **** ya.
I hate the cops. Basically based on experiences from racial profilling. I'll give a couple examples.
One time I was with my buddy from Illinois and his car had IL license plates. We were in my friends neighborhood parked outside his parents house where he was staying at the time. I was in his whip smoking a black and mild and out of nowhere cops roll up with their guns pointed at us telling us to get out of the car. Cops snagged us out the car and put us in handcuffs. I asked them "wait why are you guys doing this again?"
Cop responds "we got a call that people were smoking weed in the area". I'm like "???? what ? " Long story short. They had us sit outside the car in handcuffs while they tore my boy's car the **** up on the inside searching it. They didn't find **** and told us to leave.
Another time I was driving to work and I had a 99 Toyota Camry with the bumper all ****** up and I was driving in a high class county where my job is located. Cop pulls me over out of NO WHERE IN THE PARKING LOT OF MY WORK (mercedes benz dealership). Cop doesn't even come to my side of the window. He's talking to me through my passenger window. Very first question he asks "Do you have any drugs or weapons in the car?" I'm like "***** im at work this my job I intern here". He goes "Sorry I have to ask that". I'm like dude no you don't i've never been asked that before lol. He questions my internship like "Oh how'd you get that through your school or something?" Basically not believing that I was interning there. Long story short dude gives me a ******* seatbelt ticket because I took it off before he came to the car
I've been pulled over multiple times in that Camry in the high class county multiple times all basically DWB. When I got my Benz though I never got pulled over.
**** COPS!
The cops gotta help out some groups of people.
yeah i strongly disagreeA few years ago I was in straight F--- The Police mode. More recently my thinking has changed. I buy into the emerging consensus that police brutality is the end result of a much larger system based on white supremacy and neoliberalism.
I still have my critiques of the police, they have a subculture that often times too macho, militaristic, histrionic and insular. However, to blame a police officer or even a police department exclusively for police brutality is to miss the bigger picture.
As a liberal, I think of issues in terms of systems and not individual virtue. As a result, I get accused of coddling criminals and blaming society for their misdeeds. The flip side is that I will also be willing to contextualize police misconduct as well.
