Re: Racist/Corrupt/Immoral Police Thread.
No, it’s not about politics. It’s about human and Constitutional rights of our citizens.
Unlike YOU, I don’t put ideology over our Nation and the Constitution.
Re: Racist/Corrupt/Immoral Police Thread.
Sure you do beginning with the one party government you desire

Re: Racist/Corrupt/Immoral Police Thread.
I don’t desire it. But I’m not a Trumper either. I don’t defend the indefensible. I’m not a insurrection apologist. You voted for more than one insurrectionists.
So I’d suggest you don’t attack someone else’s patriotism.
Re: Racist/Corrupt/Immoral Police Thread.
You have been a voter for over 45 years and following politics for about 55 years.
In every election in those 55 years the democrats have been the better choice in every election.
No matter the city, state, district or contest but, you don't desire a one party government

Re: Racist/Corrupt/Immoral Police Thread.
Nope. Unlike you, I can respect some from the other party. For instance, what Bush the First did in the Gulf War, where he brought the free world together against Saddam, but didn’t invade Iraq like you guys on the right demanded they do.Glennfs wrote: ↑Sun Jan 29, 2023 5:16 pm You have been a voter for over 45 years and following politics for about 55 years.

Or when Reagan made his remarks after the Challenger disaster.
But you hate Dems and everything they do. You happily lie about them.
And you support the people that tried to overturn a fair and free election.
Re: Racist/Corrupt/Immoral Police Thread.

Even the Maryland governor who had a 65pct approval number in a state that is 65pct democrats
And again with the you hate comment. In poker we call that a tell

Re: Racist/Corrupt/Immoral Police Thread.
You think that Democrats will destroy the country, so anything to keep us out of power is acceptable, even a coup.
You believe everything Trump says.
Re: Racist/Corrupt/Immoral Police Thread.
Again lying liberals got to lie.
Let's review
I said that liberals will unintentionally destroy our country while enacting an agenda they believe will strengthen our country.
While you said and believe.
Conservatives want and will destroy our country by design.
And of course I have never supported a coup and we have never had a coup.
But lying liberals got to lie

Re: Racist/Corrupt/Immoral Police Thread.
Nope Trump never did anything. The elections are rigged, and Trump never tried to keep Biden from becoming President.Glennfs wrote: ↑Mon Jan 30, 2023 7:03 am Again lying liberals got to lie.

When liberals are proven wrong or losing an argument flow chart
1 claim racist or homophobic or some similar label
2 if number 1 doesn't apply cry hatred
3 if 1 and 2 don't apply say Trump

Re: Racist/Corrupt/Immoral Police Thread.
Yes, there was an attempted coup.
Constantly denying J6 happened, trying to cover it up, and voting for Trump seditionists, means you support it. Just like you’re doing again here.
The person who lies in these parts, all the time, is you.

Qualified Immunity is nothing more than a protection for government employees from a barrage of frivolous civil law suits. Injured parties still have the right to successfully sue the appropriate government agency.
Without qualified immunity cops would forever be in court because of idiots like you who are constantly frivolously offended.
Re: Racist/Corrupt/Immoral Police Thread.
No, it means that they aren’t held accountable in court for their actions, as any other citizen would be.Bludogdem wrote: ↑Mon Jan 30, 2023 9:29 am Qualified Immunity is nothing more than a protection for government employees from a barrage of frivolous civil law suits.

Even the far-right CATO Institution says qualified immunity hurts law enforcement. https://www.cato.org/study/how-qualifie ... nforcement
Invented by the Supreme Court in the late 1960s, qualified immunity is a judicial doctrine that shields state actors from liability from their misconduct, even when they break the law. The standard itself uses illogical rules that effectively prevent police officers from being sued for unconstitutional misconduct unless the plaintiff can identify a preexisting case with nearly identical facts. But since cases barred by qualified immunity are dismissed before trial, the precedent the doctrine demands is rarely set.
A Reuters study showed that courts have been increasingly willing to grant qualified immunity to police officers accused of using excessive force. In many cases, judges dismiss the case because they don’t believe officers used excessive force. But in a growing category of cases, the question of excessive force is immaterial: judges grant police immunity from suit under the arbitrary logic of qualified immunity.
But the doctrine of qualified immunity provides an out for a different class of officers: officers whose misconduct would be otherwise indefensible. That, in turn, provides a judicial blessing for departments to keep unethical officers on the force—leaving good cops in bad company.
The facts behind cases where qualified immunity is invoked are often alarming.

Why are you anti police union. They are exactly the same as all unions. Protect the worse and least qualified.
" I am a socialist " Bernie Sanders
Re: Racist/Corrupt/Immoral Police Thread.
I don’t agree with the last sentence but I don’t see that police unions are any different from any other public service unions. Their job is to protect the rights of those they represent. That is their business. Those are their clients.
Re: Racist/Corrupt/Immoral Police Thread.
Not true, of course.
But other unions puts federal, state and local law outside of the union contracts. You go in and shoot up your shop, the union won’t protect you. But a cop can trample all over citizen rights, and the union protects them.
I say that covering up for breaking the law should be outside the purview of a union contract.
Re: Racist/Corrupt/Immoral Police Thread.
There is a reason why we call authoritarian regimes "police states".
In general, they tend to favor unfettered powers for the police, who of course are agents of the state.
Therefore, those who support limiting police powers, like liberals, are anti-authoritarian.
I'm glad this matter could be cleared up.

The right wants it because it's no middle-class white males that are the targets. It's the minorities they WANT to see kept in line.
Re: Racist/Corrupt/Immoral Police Thread.
Well since the recent Memphis killing was primarily African American cops you can't go with your usual it's white cops wanting to kill blacks.
You switch to this.

Re: Racist/Corrupt/Immoral Police Thread.
Did you see the difference on the right with this case? They were defending the hell out of Derick Chauvin, and blaming it all on George Floyd.
But hell, they're happy as hell to fry black cops.
Don't worry, when the next cop to murder a black man or woman, they'll go right back to the way they were.
I was really proud of the Memphis Police Chief. Just a few weeks, she comes out and fires the cops, calls them murderers, and charges them.
Not the months it takes when it's white cops.
