How else to you expect to reduce our ridiculously high crime rate? And what about the police? Do you support the police being militarized? Because it is pretty much necessary when our populace is so heavily armed.
Ending the war on drugs, funding healthcare, funding education, not policing minority and poor communities disproportionally, do away with 3 strikes rules, and generally stop arresting people for things that shouldn't be illegal in the first place.

That last one irks me the wrong way. Cops should arrest people for things that shouldn't be illegal. It's their job to maintain the law. It's not their fault some asshole politician made a braindead law, but it's their job to uphold it. To make it the cops responsibility let's our shitty politicians get away with making shithole laws without consequences.

In some states, the underlying arrest must be a lawful arrest. However, that is not the case in Texas: You can be charged with resisting arrest even if the arrest itself was unlawful. For evading arrest charges, you cannot be charged if the arrest was unlawful.

Police officers have an awful lot of latitude when they enforce laws.

Also it is legal for a police officer to rape a detainee in 35 states.
A person who is handcuffed and imprisoned cannot give legal consent.

You have a really boring sex life if you think you can not have consensual sex while handcuffed.

Presumably we're going to get chapter and verse about how this is perfectly justified self defence on the part of the cops involved.

Interesting, when I looked at your article the first thing I saw was "However, rape by police officers is illegal in all 50 states."

Over three hundred million Americans. Dipshits doing dipshit things for an otherwise good cause will inevitably happen.

The far right is given the latitude to use each and every incident as an excuse for its own radicalization, while the far left gets no such latitude.

The far right alienates so many people that we leftists are getting a huge surge in new comrades.

The right is outraged over wearing masks. The crime against this kid. Yet, when it comes to police brutality/murder. “Uhmm hey uhh that’s not right” or “well you know he was committing a crime”
