There are a lot of things I hate about the Bible as an atheist, but one thing I really wish would be implemented is a double measured punishment for positions of authority. Every crime a police officer is found guilty of should be doubled, every time and without exception. They should always be aware of the fact that if they screw up it will be a much bigger deal for them.
There’s a lot of fucking sense in the bible sometimes, in a lot of cases the problem is it’s good fucking sense for a tribe of nomadic folk 2500 years ago and then it’s been filtered through various cults rewriting and reinterpreting it to suit their needs and viewpoints in the intervening time. The US constitution seems to be on the same sort of track.
Not only that, but crimes specific to police officers just like soldier specific crimes. Hold them to a higher standard, and when that power is abused only the most brutal of punishments.
Every time. Y’all forget THE essential fact every time this comes up: cops are enforcers for the rich only, and unless something they do affects the rich, nothing will change. They’re not military, they’re barely smarter than a glue-sniffing mutt and twice as psychotic. 🤦🏽♂️
I live in Los Angeles, where the cops keep getting caught bringing in the big moral panic drug of the day and slaughtering people and being literal Nazi street gangs.
And I’m just putting the name “people persecuted by police” out there; somebody please use it, and please live up to it.
How is it that a soldier sent into literal combat against people he knows are armed and intend to kill them has to be more careful not to shoot someone than a police officer responding to a call about a black person using the sidewalk?
I was deployed, and our rules of engagement was more strict than police officers. We had to keep it on us at all times (exception being for PT and shower time). There were very specific situations about when and where we could use our weapons.
What is ridiculous is “I was a scared little bitch” was not a reason to use force. Police can get away with killing civilians, unarmed civilians, because “I was scared”. If we did that, our ass would be in Leavenworth. Cops are fucking pathetic.
Nah. They need the wall. They fought basic accountability too hard, clearly its not gonna happen. Accept that and move on to a more realistic solution.
Too bad we’re headed in the exact opposite direction…
Conservatives like my father are being brainwashed to believe the cops have TOO MANY restrictions to “properly do their jobs.”
They literally want LESS accountability for police… It’s absolutely absurd and because of that I’m pretty sure that’s what we’ll end up with. We don’t get to have nice things in this timeline.

What do you expect in DeSatan’s state.

Fuck the bible but this is already a thing in the military and it should be a thing in the police too since they are just the occupying military
Which is why the state never will.
You can though; like the panthers, but learn the lesson from their failure: don’t get seen.
Is that double punishment thing in the bible? I couldn’t agree more. It’s the most heinous type of crime imo.
Officers need a UCMJ similar to the military.
If rhey insist on military terms and tactics, a military court martial is only fair. Especially the parts about force and civilians.
Not only that, but crimes specific to police officers just like soldier specific crimes. Hold them to a higher standard, and when that power is abused only the most brutal of punishments.

I was a military kid. So… just like the military?
Their description might’ve been a bit charitable.
I didn’t forget it, but it’s fun to have dreams.
I had a dreeeam, I had a dreeeam, I just want to see the glowing lanterns gleeeam!
They have names and addresses. That’s the only accountability they will ever see.
Or an anti cop insurgency.

While an anti cop uprising is likely inevitable, I’m not confident that it actually makes anything change at this point.
‘Revolutions in reverse’; its basically warm fuzzy more broadly effective thing based on ‘propaganda of the deed’
And rules of engagement while we’re at it.

A soldier who everyone knows was ordered ‘shoot to kill’, and people think its weird when they’re not.
They even get multiple months of training!

Idk I mean it would be fine if the consequences that everyone else has to face they have to too.
