Who wants to move to CHAZ?

i can't help but believe there would be even more police brutality, and systematic to boot. they never were concerned with civil liberties for us riffraff, they would have no compunctions to do to us what putin does to his own people. the democrats at least pay lip service to our needs, the GOP utterly has refused to even do that, they'd have no hesitations about brutally putting us down whenever we spoke up. just look at ft. lauderdale which has made it illegal for charities to feed the homeless. THAT is what we could expect if they took total control.

I saw a YouTube video with an interview with the actor Michael Jai White where he said he was turned down for the police academy because he scored too high on the aptitude test.

they don't want cops second-guessing orders from higher-ups. but mebbe they should.

Well another one of the demands to come out of CHAZ is that they want all black people who have been convicted of crimes to be retried by a jury of their pears. I guess that means they want them to be retried with black jurors.

However, almost all people charge with a crime choose to not go to trial and plea bargain. So if the jurors were all black, would that make a difference if they choose whether or not to go to trial?

That often happens because the police threaten them that they would lose anyway and receive worse. Not to mention racial bias that is has been a proven part of the court system that would have made it more sensible for many black people to just take a plea bargain.

I am not saying whether it would be entirely feasible to pass, but there has been injustice that if people want some change should not start at what the minimum effort to address it would be.

Oh okay, but I don't think that an all black jury will make a different. Let's say you are black and you are charged with with a felony, like murder for example. Would you want to roll the dice on a life sentence with a black jury, even though they may still convict you if they believe you are guilty? Or would you take a lesser sentence with a plea bargain and not role the dice? What would most black defendants do?

As for the notion that the police threaten them that they would loose, I think that's not what happens most often and most often, they seek advice from their lawyer, about whether or not to plea bargain. So wouldn't the lawyers be the ones who are telling them to go for the plea bargain rather than trial?

Someone I love had a brilliant idea. Make all the cops go to school for 8+ years like lawyers do, including a few years of articling and internship under supervision. Their job upholds the law but also allows them to carry guns or kill people. Their training should be as comprehensive as law school, and then some. This would also weed out the idiots and people who apply to the job impulsively.

Yeah but people trash on lawyers and hate them all the time to though, even though they went to school for 8 years. So now all of a sudden the majority respects lawyers now?

^ That's a great idea.

Who’s pay for it? Cops would never make in a lifetime enough to pay for it like,lawyers or doctors do.

They can take student loans like everyone else. If there were fewer cops (better and more effective, in conjunction with police reform), police budgets could pay them more as well.

But they idea was to defund the police, so if the police are being payed more to pay off student loans, than you won't be able to defund them, if they need to be payed more, even if there are fewer. If there is too much money being thrown to the police, than the idea is to keep it down, even with fewer officers, isn't it?

I never said to defund them. That's groupthink. I believe police are an essential service despite the fact they need major restructuring, retraining, and reform.

I think it should be a highly-skilled job, with considerable revision of their responsibilities and rules. They are essentially lawyers with guns, and the right to take a life in some circumstances. I've heard that some cops have 6-8 months of basic training before they're granted this ethical responsibility, and I think that's unacceptable.

I may not know how to restructure a budget, but something definitely needs to change.

My point is a doctor making hundreds of thousands a year has hard til paying student loans off a cop will never be able to as is and impossible if they defund the police to point they make less then me working retail.we need more cops not less.
The budgets in my state are so bad one city only has police 9-5 m-f and some woman got beat and raped was just told sorry we aren’t open.
As is wirh the current police numbers an average response time is like 10-30 mins. And you have mear seconds or mins before the guy kicks your door down.

Also some college degree is already required. But 8 years is ridiculous. In f@ct I wonder if requiring a college degree is the problem. It means only those who can afford college can be cops. Means all the poor people from the areas needing cops the most can’t be cops even if they want to.
