It's like they learned nothing from 2020 when people were fed up.

Make police settlements come Out of police Pensions instead of taxpayers monies and this will all change immediately.
Instead of suing the city for damages we can just take the money straight from the police departmentâs pensions.
That should get their act together

âď¸This is the right ideaâď¸ Until it hits them personally they will never learn.

u/rtj777 Jan 14 '23
It is the people who have not learned. Only once it is realized that the legal system doesn't work, and vigilante justice is the only way to deal with these corrupt police officers will America experience any meaningful change.

u/Confident_Economy_85 Jan 14 '23
Yes, also vigilante justice should apply to criminals as well. So itâs equitably spread actors the board

Cops should be REQUIRED to wear body cams 24/7 And that footage should be publicly available.
If at any time an incident happens where there's no body cam footage, somebody somewhere should be held accountable. Held accountable by being charged with a crime.

There was a video I watched recently, where one of the cops had used something (Sharpie, tape, paint, idk) to block the light on his body camera so folks couldn't tell if it was on or not. That really didn't sit well with me.
I tried looking for it, but I couldn't find it. It's one of the million YouTube channels centered around police interactions.

Yeah. A lack of accountability is definitely the problem. Police officers shouldnât be above the law. They should be held to the highest standard. More than the average citizen. They behave like a gang because they arenât.

What about the 90% of incidents where that body camera footage just shows incredibly intimate and tragic parts of peopleâs lives, and no brutality? We canât have public access to all body cam footage because victims of domestic abuse, assault victims, children&minors, drug addicts etc donât deserve to have their private situations exposed for the internet. For most people, the day they have to call 999 is the worst day of their lives and they donât want that recorded for public consumption.
There has to be some process in place to protect them, and there may even be legitimate scenarios in which body cam should not be recording. That being said, it is appalling the amount of cases where there SHOULD be body cam evidence and it has been tampered with, destroyed or otherwise edited to hide the shocking and barbaric acts of the police.

Some sort of thing that google does could work where they blur all license plates and faces. There would still be some identifying info tho. I think it should be available for the person in the video immediately and if THEY choose to release it or not then others could see it would work. That plus the face blurring algorithm could work IMO

No video, no case, no paycheck.
Bodycam footage is public domain. It's evidence.

u/JuniorTransition4511 Jan 14 '23
I believe the news should stop using the word "allegedly" when there's literal footage(evidence) of the described scenario. Is there a reason it's not being broadcasted that way?
Edit: I realize the reporter was describing the claim from the police not the scenario of the footage.

u/Blastonite Jan 14 '23
Everything is alleged until a situation has gone to court. Guilty by a jury of your peers exists forna reason. Clearly we see them all in the wrong here. But none will admit it and therefore it's alleged sadly.

u/Moo_Kau Jan 15 '23
Trouble is, the person has allegedly committed a crime, and has this done to them. Wheres their jury before a beating?

u/Blastonite Jan 15 '23
Sadly most cops believe they are judge, jury and executioner. Only thing we can do is hope they get caught. Until qualified immunity ends I don't foresee any change.

The reporter also invented the narrative that the police couldnât provide the footage. As if it wasnât a conscious choice they made to undermine the law.

Why do they say police âwere not able to provide bodycam footage?â Is the news supposed to make up lies to justify police corruption?

This man is far more calm and articulate than I think I could've been. Props to him and so sorry he had to go through something like that. I can't even imagine. Hopefully he at least gets paid out for this incident.

Why do they think they need to add insult to injury over everything?
I mean, the person is already stunned and incapacitated by the little taser move.

We know who those people are. They must be held to account under the law.

They knew they were being recorded with his family having to watch knowing that if they even tried stepping in, the whole family would most likely getting the same treatment?
I literally canât even imagine how helpless they must have felt seeing their family almost get murdered by the people who are supposed to protect you.
What will it take for them to care that being a police doesnât mean theyâre above the law. Theyâre literally paid criminals in uniforms.
