Police departments need to be de-funded en masse, rolling layout-style, these pig cops fired, and new applicants rigorously filtered to weed out these murderous psychopaths. And I don't mean just fire the cops, I mean fire EVERYONE, and rebuild the whole system from scratch. As one former police chief says (quote below), the law enforcement system creates psychopaths, it doesn't just hire them.
To prevent the "ultimate lawless chaos" scare scenario (aka pro-police gang propaganda) these departments need to be shut down one or two at a time, and rebuilt from scratch.
(CBS) - An 18-year-old California man was shot dead by police last week while he was handcuffed and on the ground. Police say he was carrying a loaded handgun.
According to a statement issued by the Riverside County Sheriff's Department, officers responded to a "gang-related 'man with a gun'" call in Moreno Valley at 8:38 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 28.
Once there, the statement says, witnesses told the first officer on the scene that the men brandishing weapons had left in a car, but as the officer was taking suspect descriptions, the car drove by and "a male exited the vehicle and attempted to flee on foot."
And here's some testimony by former police chief Norm Stamper:
So, how do we prevent this kind of behavior in the future?
Please don't say through (1) more thorough screening of law enforcement candidates, or (2) better training. They're both important, of course. Critical, in fact. But law enforcement, for the most part, doesn't pick bad apples. It makes them, and not through academy training.
Forty-three years ago I was an idealistic, vaguely liberal 21-year-old when the San Diego Police Department hired me. The last thing on my mind was taking to the streets to punish people. And lest there be any doubt about the department's policy, the police academy, even then, drove it home: excessive force was grounds for termination.
So, why did I abuse the very people I'd been hired to serve?
Not to get too psychological, I did it because the power of my position went straight to my head; because other cops I'd come to admire did it; and because I thought I could get away with it. Which I did -- until a principled prosecutor slapped me upside the head and demanded to know whether the U.S. Constitution meant anything to me.
The police gangs of New York City didn't even care to respect the opinion of a retired police chief, in this case Captain Ray Lewis. Instead, they arrested him and trumped up a bunch of phony charges to justify it. Why? Because retired Captain Ray Lewis was protesting alongside Occupy Wall Street. Fortunately, these charges look like they will be dismissed as bogus.
Former Captain Ray Lewis Charged With Three Violations After OWS Protest; More Photos Of His Arrest
Retired Philadelphia police Captain Ray Lewis, arrested yesterday after joining up with the Occupy Wall Street process, has quickly become one of the more iconic figures from the movement’s two month’s anniversary.
After we noted his arrest and put up several pictures of the event, we were contacted by everyone from The Associated Press to worried parents who thought they could find their son, who had been in the same paddy-wagon as Captain Lewis.
Nowadays the cops are so bad that our politicians consider them to be their own personal army. Consider the arrogant (and also inaccurate) words of the current New York mayor and billionaire, Michael Bloomberg:
Michael Bloomberg: "I have my own army in the NYPD, which is the seventh biggest army in the world."This is the modern role of law enforcement - to serve as the army of the Plutocracy.
It's time to de-fund these people, take away their power and their weapons, and rebuild from scratch.
