Worth a read President tore away process that reined in racist forces (I've given the headline that appeared on the print edition) The Trump administration has dismantled key federal tools for imposing accountability on police forces engaging in systemic racial discrimination, severely hampering efforts to heal the wounds of the police killing of George Floyd and the ongoing protests convulsing the country. |

Where do they get these idiots from? Rejecting applicants for being too intelligent for a start. Then once they are in, they can pick up "training" from the many police (and corrections) officers who are members of white supremacist or other radical groups. The military is very strict on purging these groups; police forces need to be similarly so. One other issue that police forces have is preferential hiring of ex-military, I imagine just because they know how to use firearms or it's thought that they will be calm under stressful situations. However there's a rather large downside in that military veterans may have PTSD or other issues brought on by their experiences that will cause them to over-react and escalate situations; they may require special training to counteract this. As well, the military and police are of completely opposite mindsets: When the military is deployed in a foreign country, everyone around them is a potential enemy or threat, and there is a clear "us or them" distinction. When this idea is brought to the police, who are citizens operating in their own country, we end up with the "thin blue line" mentality, over-militarization of the police, and officers being pressured to defend or hide bad conduct of their colleagues. The oft-used meme: (Who knew Battlestar Galactica could be so profound?) I would love to see the Japanese train the world's police forces. Like the British, many of them don't carry firearms. Instead they are trained in martial arts (a black belt in judo is considered a strong asset), de-escalation and techniques to render hostile people harmless without violence. For example rather than one or two officers attending when there is a violent out-of-control person, a minimum of four will show up with what looks like a giant futon, and are trained how to wrap the person up in it very quickly (within a second or two) rendering them completely harmless, and they can then be transported to a place to calm down. Edit: And this is what can happen if the problems aren't fixed... Minneapolis council members pledge to disband police as protests continue A majority of city council members in Minneapolis have pledged to abolish the city’s police department after the death of an unarmed black man in custody last month led to some of the biggest protests seen in the United States. |

Where do they get these idiots from?McDonald's. Mr. Chauvin, who is 44, did not always want to be a police officer. He studied food preparation at a technical college, classes like “pantry food preparation,†“job seeking skills†and “stocks, sauces and soups,†according to his personnel file with the Minneapolis Police Department. He worked as a cook at McDonald’s and made ribs and chicken at Tinucci’s Restaurant. Then he switched paths, becoming a military police officer in the U.S. Army, serving in Germany. |

Yep, far too many guns over there in the hands of lunatics, but a lot of us have been repeating that for far too many years. |

Proof ordinary normal police cause crime. Why not? Before its police reforms, Camden was routinely named one of the most violent cities in the US. |

No wonder the authorities want to control the Internet. No "magical" body cams switching themselves off & on, but public filming. Personal cost of filming police |

Just a typical police union man. AFL-CIO doesn't want them. Union out of control. USW get out of Dodge. Police Chief says resign. A White Power union boss A real King Donald Supporter. If there is any question about what is wrong with the police, it comes from their Union and their Blue Code. Fire the lot! |

Not just one union man, but many. “Eric Garcetti panicked and blamed the men and women of the LAPD for his failed leadership,†Jamie McBride, director of the Los Angeles Police Protective League, said. Funny thing about that -Jamie McBride- Garcetti is your BOSS! Another funny thing, George Floyd is dead by hands of Cops. And the Union said, https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2020/06/08/lapd-police-budget-cuts-garcetti-nury-martinez-lappl-george-floyd-looting-protests/ wrote: In a statement from the Command Officers Association on the LAPPL website, the group “emphatically†condemned the Minneapolis PD for Floyd’s deathGuess when you call them what they do, they can't even remember their own words. National union. National Association of Police Organizations director Bill Johnson said the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee has kept “moving left†and has gone “off the deep end†with his calls for law enforcement reforms. Unions bring misconduct Unionization emboldens violent officers |

It certainly seems that corruption and racism at police union levels over there is 1 of the main causes of driving the current problems to their present point and that needs to be cleaned out first and foremost. |

They're certainly their own (and everyone else's) worst enemies. :-( |

As are corrupt & racist cops. After all, if they were decent professionals, there would be no need for Internal Affairs departments. :-) |
