The above poster is basically saying people are using the perfect as the enemy of the good. And you are arguing the perfect is better than the good. Though perhaps you wouldn't call it that. But if your standard is no one escapes justice in a country of 300 million, that seems rather close to perfect to me.
I am certainly no fan of no-knock warrants though. There are processes than can be fixed.
- dragontamer 6y agoI'm not asking for "perfection". I'm asking for an avenue to reprimand bad cops. We all know bad cops exist. The problem is that we cannot get these bad cops fired or otherwise thrown out of the police force. > I am certainly no fan of no-knock warrants though. There are processes than can be fixed. I'm not even asking for no-knock warrants to be banned. The underlying issue is far more severe. We need JUSTICE. We need someone to accept responsibility for Briana Taylor's unnecessary death. Who issued the no-knock warrant? Who was the Lieutenant in charge of the operation? Where is the police body cam footage? Why were the officers in plainclothes instead of their uniforms? Why is so much information seemingly missing about this botched operation? -------- The best the family of Birana Taylor is able to do under these circumstances... is file a "Wrongful Death" claim against the police department. If they win the court case... the taxpayers of Kansas will pay for the death, while the officers who were in charge of the operation will be let onto the streets again without any real repercussions. THAT is the problem. There's no mechanism of feedback what so ever. The "bad cops" remain on payroll, and will continue to make the same mistakes in some future case.
