I've grown tired of ineffective policies to regulate the police. The penalty for lying under oath should be a prison sentence for perjury, not a stint on the Brady list. The penalty for excessive force should be a prison sentence for assault, not an internal affairs investigation with a month of vacation. Any use of force causing any injury at all should at least be presented to a grand jury, where impartial jurors, pulled from the public that these police are supposed to serve, can determine the reasonableness of the force used and can move to indict if necessary.
We don't need any more laws, programs, investigations, or data trackers. We already have enough of those to go by....we just need prosecutors that will put cops in prison.
- enchiridion 5y agoThe issue is that prosecutors works very closely with police. We need separate state level prosecutors who solely go after crimes committed by the police.
