We need to start over- the police force here started as slave patrols. They are rooted in racism. Therefore, acab.
I did not realize those calls ever stopped from all the other incidents. >

Americans have an extremely short attention span. >

Correction: The media has an extremely short attention span. >

No, that's done on purpose. Once they stop covering the story, nobody cares anymore. They know they could get away with it because Americans have an extremely short attention span. >

Maybe that’s true for you and the people around you, but it’s not true for me and the people around me. Maybe it’s because I’m a minority who grew up in a community that’s always been affected by these issues. 
If you have the luxury of a short attention span for police brutality, I don’t blame you if it’s not constantly on your radar, but let’s not pretend that just because you forget, so does everybody else. >

Ending qualified immunity and requiring individual officer insurance will quickly address many of the issues. Tack on a lifetime database of an employee record for good measure. >

Qualified immunity doesn’t apply in a criminal case. All officers are being charged with 2nd degree murder. >

Officers are going to act a lot more carefully if they know they can be held liable for their actions. >

Yep. These fuckers knew their cameras were on and didn't fucking care. Nor did anyone standing around watching them. >

I'm sure this time the call for reform will be successful unlike the last thousand times /s >

more important to see bidens kids dick pick apparently >

Can you imagine what this country would look like if one party offered us something good, and then the other party went on to offer us something better? 
Instead Democrats are going to propose solutions and Republicans are going to propose that if he was going to run then he should have run faster. >

And then Democrats will propose worse and worse solutions until we find one that is adequately awful enough for Republicans to support it. And then moderates will point their fingers at us and demand we praise them. >

I too wish that Republicans hadn't won the House in the midterms, yes. >

Lol as if it even matters who controls the house in regards to cop reform. Sinema and Manchin would 100% block anything the house passes because this shithole country is deeply deeply sick with cop admiration. >

Biden wants to hire more cops and give them millions more. >

Still wondering why the only body cam video Fox showed was the cop that pepper sprayed himself and wandered around off camera not showing the majority of the beating that took place.
And where is the dash cam video of the offense to be pulled over? >

Most likely turned them off, I remember seeing a different video different incident where a cop asked his partner if his cam off, he thought it was and after the answer he cop did a full sprint kick into a cuffed, downed , black man's face >

I think police reform is a bit of a dead end. It's unlikely to ever succeed at scale. However, one way to actually do it is tie it to money and involve capitalism.
Sounds insane right? The answer is painfully simple: all cops must be insured as in when on the job, they need to be certified by an insurance entity that they are of sound mind and sound psychological profile. That in the event of a weapon discharge that leads to death, the insurance agency then is responsible for the full chain of custody of the investigation and then payout occurs if it's a wrongful action.
Insurance companies are like piranhas to something that waded into their territorial waters. They won't leave a single piece untouched and will move heaven and earth to ensure that they keep the money in house. This means, they'll take the cops and departments over the coals to make sure they run a tight ship.
This is the way to address the problem. Imo.
If you drive, you need car insurance. If you fly, you need pilot's insurance. Any professional field that deals with lives directly or indirectly requires insurance. Law enforcement appears to be this one field that is unchecked/unregulated, and it's time that it be brought into the fold.
Granted, liability insurance could then lead to a case where cops may simply not intervene, but the regulation would need to be crafted in a way such that implies that the insurance would auto-trigger if post event investigation determines that there was time and ability to render assistance and the holder opted to not do so due to belief that engagement would lead to potential triggering of liability or something of the sort. >

Definition of reform: verb - make changes in (something, typically a social, political, or economic institution or practice) in order to improve it.
What your describing is reform. I think politicians have eroded the very basic definition of reform where people like yourself say reform is pointless while also suggesting reform. Just to be clear I fully agree with your idea. >

I never saw it like that, but you make a fair point. >

I'm curious what a bill for police reform look like? What do people want? >

Less money for police, more for education and housing, end qualified immunity, force police misconduct lawsuits to be paid for by malpractice insurance or out of police pensions instead of by tax-payers. Police fired for misconduct cannot be rehired by the department a town over. Actually independent investigative board for police instead of internal affairs to investigate wrong-doing. These are a few steps that come to mind that might help that I've heard a number of people call for. >

End "warrior cop" training. >

Those would be old school FTOs that pump new trainees with their bullshit views about the world. “Throw away what you learned at the academy and listen to me” is kind of how it goes. >

It would literally be David Grossman
