A trial without qualified immunity for battery is what I want. A national registry and licensure that stops offenders finding a new job in a new towns is what I want. **If accountability scares someone away from being a police officer we’re better off without them. **
I want to be able to feel safe around police in my community.
We just need a strategy for when no one wants to be a cop.
Low salary, risk of death, and risk of losing your career is not a combination that works anywhere else.
It’s almost like MMA, or the NFL or something. In those professions you have the risk of death/injury plus the risk of losing your career, but the payoff is fame and wealth.
For police there is no payoff lol. Right now the payoff is sort of “whatever you do it is always forgiven and you’ll always find a new job in another town and never go to jail for your mistakes”.
Obviously that is bad and should be done away with, but it needs to be replaced with a new payoff or else the job is not worth it.
What in the bootlicking nonsense is this. “Oopsie clumsy me I fuckywuckied and irrevocably harmed this innocent citizen forever changing their life”
I said he should never be a cop again. I don’t know what you want from me dude lol.
Imagine me saying to that cop “you should never be a cop again” and him saying “hey thanks for the support man”

Ok I’m all for that.

The payoff for one job is the same as it is for any other job. Pay & Benefits.
Can’t attract anyone to do your job? Increase pay & benefits. Hazard pay is 100% a thing that exists.
Also, reevaluate who needs to do what jobs. Does a cop need to do wellness checks or would a social worker be better suited?
Yeah I think they’d definitely have to increase pay and benefits in this scenario.
It’s just gonna be hard sell convincing people to vote for politicians that say “we need to increase your taxes to increase police pay and benefits”.
How? Right now they increase taxes to pay for military grade weapons for the police to use on citizens and people vote for it just fine.
I think people hate the police more than the military.
