I'd issue my officers a gold square pin to wear but only after having obtained 5 years without a complaint. You get another one 5 years later..., and so on. If you were to get a complaint, that year does not count towards your total. An inability to get a square every 10 years is means for dismissal. Cops who just started can be given a smaller square for each year they remain complaint-free and five are replaced with a regular size square. The public is only allowed two complaints per person per year; and teenagers are permitted to file w/o parental consent. The square makes us focus on proper policing practices. A cop who is slow to obtain a square or receives a complaint right out of the gate, means that he should be observed more closely and body cams are reviewed even if there is no problem reported. If you were never to get a complaint and were of age to do so, you would be next in line to be chief of police (assuming you've shown leadership skills and were respected b...

Laura Coates, Joey Jackson, we the people need to tell the old stodgy and political hacks at SCOTUS that their cop brutality-enabling decisions need to be revisited before civil war is unleashed thanks to their shortsightedness. Let's have a layman's look at the two top decisions. Graham v. Connor The court said that "the reasonableness of a particular use of force must be judged from the perspective of a reasonable officer on the scene, rather than with the 20/20 vision of hindsight. [This and other legal material is taken from a post on PoliceOne.com] That's right SCOTUS, leave it up to the 'reasonable' officer. I, like you, am positive that the officer would admit to the use of excessive force..AND BE FIRED or imprisoned. It, of course, would never come to that because by the time the shit is even thinking of hitting the fan, the police union representatives have begun to coach the reasonable officer. In the Michael Brown case, even the FBI came to the cop...

Police Brutality I don't know how long lynching held sway in our Nation and It's too depressing to google but I know the answer, we all know the answer--it hasn't stopped. Oh, the methods are different but the end result is that those in power get to take lives willy-nilly. Other than having the majority of U.S. residents become True Christians or the equivalent in other religions, it is incumbent on those of us who care about these things to look for solutions. The police body cam was proposed and is seeing some use, if only to also see some sabotage in it's use; i.e., "mute it." What I now propose is not a perfect fix; some may even have valid objections. I would predict that these objections would come from those with a higher liberal standard. I propose that policemen be supplied with clips containing ammunition that consists of different grades of lethality. Let' say a clip can contain 10 rounds or bullets, load that clip with rubber bullets tha...

I love protests. If I had been allowed to protest homework and other indignities, I would have turned out a much better person. I had to wait until college to start expressing my 1st Amendment rights--then, against the Vietnam War. That is why it struck a dissonant chord with me when President Obama said that although Kaepernick was within his Constitutional rights to protest, the veteran was hurt by it and he, the President, could understand why. I beg to differ with the President. Unless you are part of the club--properly initiated--you cannot empathize with the other members of the group.When I condemn the doctor or the lawyer for greed, I cannot relate to their hurt feelings. When I condemn the teacher or policeman for union excesses, what do I know how they feel. When I condemn the rich man or the legislator, how can I know the hurt? Likewise, the President cannot know what it is like to sleight the government that sends a man to war unless he has gone through all the initiatio...

Protests are powerful forces, but only an armed movement can accomplish things if they remain small. Unarmed resistance must be large to get the job done. I see the present movement--called by such names as Democracy Spring and Democracy Awakening--as lacking in numbers. Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, via their celebrity status, help bring attention to the movement. That's great. Love it. However, how do we increase the numbers? As a B12 shot in the arm, the movements have turned to peaceful rebellion in the form of voluntary arrests, but with minimal or even negative mainstream media coverage it is unlikely that the numbers would go anywhere but down. The Capitol Police are very diligent when it comes to following through with their orders but no one on the force would like to spend resources on defending themselves against lawsuits--especially if it can really be helped. At this point, I'd like to point out a very significant difference between celebrities and your ave...

“If our society really wanted to solve the problem, we could; it’s just that it would require everybody saying, ‘this is important; this is significant.’ And, that we don’t just pay attention to these communities when a CVS burns, and we don’t just pay attention when a young man gets shot or has his spine snapped, but we’re paying attention all the time because we consider those kids our kids.” —President Obama on the situation in Baltimore That's what our President said and I commend him for speaking out quickly on an issue that will only result in more and more out-of-desperation riots. [WOR radio dimwits (not you, G.N., for you do the best you can to present orators on behalf of the people although you too couldn't help yourself with this one) are quick to try and latch onto the so-called witness that is saying that Mr. Gray tried to injure himself as if that's all the excuse necessary to move on. But let us remember that bastard woman who was allowed to be a prime w...

Is when Slager the Slayer is told that his yet unborn kid is not his and that his wife's ex shot off one last load at his (Slager's) expense. Otherwise, it could only come as an appeasement to the people who might view it as the straw that broke the camel's back. There is a danger, however, in police procedures that are tailored for police perpetrators thanks to powerful public unions, specifically, the fact that a police officer can get "2 or 3" days to conspire over the merits of his story while the rest of us get grilled from the get go. This happened with P.O. Darren Wilson and we all saw how he was able to concoct a story that only Grand Jury members anxious to get back to their miserable existences can love. I'll bet you that the fuckers in the PBA have their consultants in such cases--the shysters who provide all the right angles for a killer cop's defense and the forensics experts who will bend the rules of physics to present to the lumpish juri...

My atheistic son would jump at answering yes but that's because he hates organized religion. The way I see it, it is hypocritical for Christ-like people to condone violence on "the least of mine" (Matthew 25:40) Here's what happened: I'm listening to NYC's WOR710 radio and this defender of police brutality (to be fair, all at WOR710 suck asp. The bigger the baton, the better), Eric Ericson, is bad mouthing Liberals who are railing against yet another case of police brutality and cowardice. The police allege that Ms. Jessica Hernandez tried to run them over and this is what the lackeys at WOR710 radio latch onto. Now, I personally don't associate with ANY political ideology other than my own home brewed sense of justice and liberty. However, I side with Liberals 100% when it comes to how the police are treating the citizen--they are killing us with abandon, smug in their unions, and in the support of Conservatives like Mr. Erickson who was filling in for ...

This is taken from Dorian Johnson's testimony before the Ferguson Grand Jury. How they could have dismissed his words, is beyond me. One of the prosecutors is questioning Mr. Johnson:
