      Well it IS revoked if you can prove they were aware of that particular amendment. This is why you may hear some 1st amendment auditors asking, "do you know the five elements of the first amendment" and then they go on to recite them along with the police officer. This is so they cant claim ignorance. Its not like we can, ever....I know its not what youre asking for but its something!

      Keep in mind that with the IQ hiring threshold most of the people they hire to be cops couldn't pass the most basic college entrance exam. That means that even if they went through the two year you are suggesting they likely couldn't learn or retain the information. They would also likely wash out before completing it. In theory this is a defect that should be corrected. In practice this is the way those with the power want it.

      Most Mayor's are behind everything. They tell the police to get rid of the homeless and they do it anyway they can.
      They need a place to go and compassionate people helping plan and help these poor people. Remember some of these could be your loved ones. Most people live pay check to pay check and are very close to being homeless too.
      They need more affordable housing, medical or mental health care and compassion. Less violence aimed at them.

    The response from PPD spokesperson was the correct mix of righteous indignation and pearl clutching. Great performance. We suppose the hundreds upon hundreds of hours of PPD body and dash camera footage FOIA released to local and national news outlets, cop watchers, and police reform activists doesn't suggest the findings by the DoJ were not already well known? That yes, we acknowledge officers of the highest integrity and knowledge who follow the departmental policies, local-state-federal laws, and report their colleagues (sometimes with repercussions) in spite of the prevailing attitudes with coworkers and superiors? Not only PPD but the city and states repeated attempts to criminalize homelessness, to "other" those who are poor and/or homeless to dehumanize them with the attitude "they brought it on themselves" and "they are sub-human". That a simple subscription to any of the many court apps doesn't reveal the millions of dollars the tax base has had to absorb in civil damages? The number of officers and PPD officials who have been investigated internally that ended with no wrongdoing assessments even where strong evidence judged during civil suits indicates otherwise? The number of appeals attempts by the PPD attorneys (again paid for by the tax base) ended with officer qualified immunity being stripped? So please Mr. Outraged spokesperson, spare everyone the performance art.

There are too many cops violating citizens' rights . And the problem is that they are basic rights that every one of them should be taught before they're allowed to police the public . And they keep doing it over and over .

    • @ericalexander5890
      @ericalexander5890 6 місяців тому

      Not true. QI keeps cops from being held liable in civil lawsuits. It does not protect them from criminal charges. The problem there is that cops are hardly ever charged for their crimes, even when they are glaringly obvious and caught on camera. They aren't charged with their crimes because of the Thin Blue Line, which also includes prosecutors that refuse to change them.
      Yes, QI has got to go so individual cops can be held financially liable for their crimes, but what really needs to happen is for cops to be arrested and charged for their crimes, which again, hardly ever happens. Almost never, when you consider how many crimes cops commit, and how often we see these obvious crimes right on their bodycams, but no one will charge them for those crimes, not their fellow cops, not the DA office.
