You are characterizing police brutality - what we want to curb - as something they are trained to do… this is disingenuous at best. If a police officer kills someone innocent, or enters the wrong house and shoots someone… they absolutely should be held criminally accountable: as they have committed a crime.
Being a police officer shouldn’t excuse you from doing crime, come on.
Again: higher standards. And you should be asking yourself why you are okay with lower standards than “police should at least not be shooting innocent people in their sleep after entering the wrong house”
We really need better training for police: hopefully we at least agree on that…
- s1artibartfast 1y agoI think you are confused as to what qualified immunity is, and the different possible standards. There is a lot more than police brutality, and brutality isnt protected.
- mathiaspoint 1y agoIf you had the option of a position with feduciary duty and lower pay would you pick it? Probably not. That's essentially what you're arguing for.
- altruios 1y agoWho said anything about lower pay? Higher education would increase their market value. Private insurance would also make their wages higher since the city wouldn't have to have a slush fund to payout for their mistakes. Higher standards also mean higher pay.
