Because there is already a system that does that.

Think of it like this. When Pastors were getting away with molesting children, were people outraged, or did they just say, "What about this other incident of pedophillia by joe blow, or this other one by john doe? No. Because most people realize the difference in reacting to crimes by criminals or 'thugs', and giving a pass to others for being in a position of authority and power when it is actually that position that should require even MORE scrutiny, not less.

I hope these protesters get EVERY demand they want.

However, it should be required that they have to remain in the community once they get them so they get to completely enjoy the fruits of their labors....

Funny it's never party politics when the left is in charge yet civil right violations continually happen year after year after year...

It's also never party politics when the left has been in charge for decades, or even a century, for these same cities with the country's highest crime rates.

It's only party politics when they can blame those on the right...

Let me ask this: If cities and states ban police from using certain physical restraints that could cause death and an officer is dealing with someone physically superior resisting arrest, what action do you expect the officer to take? Please be specific!

how are the 'left' or 'right' in charge? Which individuals have dictatorships?

New Orleans has been run exclusively by the Democratic Party for over 150 years. Yet when the levies broke, due to their yearly upkeep funding being "diverted" to other areas, it was immediately blamed on outside agencies. Even though the names change, the same political policies remain in effect and THAT is your dictatorship.

I've already gone through the tip of the extensive list of American cities that have been run by one-party politics for 5+ decades. St. Louis, Minneapolis, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Washington DC...etc etc etc...all complain about how corrupt the police are in their cities, how change is needed, how crime is rampant. Yet somehow the regimes that have been running the show exclusively for decades suddenly now are "woke" to the issue of corruption...



We already did this dance in 2012 when the appointed one and his illustrious regime were in complete control. New DOJ rules of interaction, restriction and policy were put forth and if not followed federal funding was supposed to be cut...

and yet somehow we're right back in the same mud puddle, this time even deeper, looking to the same people who "fixed the issue" less than a decade ago to fix it again. Maybe we should put more of the failed policies into effect...I'm sure that 2-5 generations of failure only exists because they need more time.

personally, I would expect an officer to be TRAINED in assessing a situation. I would expect officers who have BACK UP, (multiple officers) should not very easily be dealing with a single individual who is superior physically alone and unarmed than they are together. I also expect cuffs to be used. I also do not expect someone to be pulled OUT of a police car and then have four officers putting pressure on their backs and neck just to restrain them, and certainly not for eight minutes.

There is no one size fits all. There is only what is REASONABLE. Force REASONABLY necessary to restrain is kind of what I expect. Force that potentially KILLS just to restrain an offender is not.

IF there are going to be potentially fatal tactics, they better well be trained in where the LIMITS of those tactics are and assessing when they are crossing the line to fatal.

Even though the names change, the same political policies remain in effect and THAT is your dictatorship.

Because they are saying they both murdered people
