Not sure that would be much better.. nothing actually solved, and all the same problems would crop up. Just in the chaos as the rules are laid out shit would get ugly... I mean we can sorta see a mini version of that when CHAZ formed, they tried to do their own policing and kept police out.. and then the deaths started.
@cjd very valid points and I would agree. In fact its why you wont find anywhere in my suggested 8 point plan anything about defunding or reducing budget. In fact I'd go so far as to say that **if** these 8 points were adopted then it should coincide with increasing their funding not decreasing it.

Since everyone is going around complaining about cops or rioters (and rightfully so) I thought I'd take an opportunity to offer actual solutions. These are the solutions I would impose to solve the problem.
Most of the solution centers around just one important problem that is the root of the whole issue. Police are above the law. They tend to get leniency for crimes due to be officer, especially when it is the result of carrying out their "duty" and even when there is an attempt to hold them accountable they cover up each others mistakes in various ways that get them out of it. This is where all the solutions lie.. so here they are:
1) eliminate all police unions, I'd say any government job that makes or enforces policy of any kind should not be allowed to unionize. Unions generally use theie collective bargaining power to wipe police officers with bad records clean and thus allow them to avoid getting in trouble.
2) Ensure the law has just as strict a consequence for an officer as it does a citizen and that them being an officer doesnt give them any greater latitude in that regard. If anything their consequences when on duty should be stricter. If they shoot someone because of a mistake because they thought they had a gun when they didnt, murder, no exceptions, no different than a citizen.
3) any officer on the scene when #2 happens and a officer breaks the law is expected to immediately stop the incident if they can and at a minimum arrest the officer immediately. If any officer fails to arrest another officer they will be consider an accomplice and equally as guilty as if they carried out the offense themselves
4) retroactively apply the #2 and #3 to all officers currently on the force to serve as an example. Give a 2 week grace period so any officers who would fall under the category of #3 have a chance to arrest their fellow officers who have in the past commited a crime under #2. After two weeks any officers guilty of #2 or #3 will be arrested with no forgiveness. Resigning from their position will not grant them immunity.
5) Require body cams, ensure the body cams can not be turned off
6) Any officer intentionally hiding their body cam during an incident will immediately loose their job and be fined one year back pay. If there is evidence of wrong doing they will be tried and this action held against them as evidence.
7) officers are always required to be in pairs or more.
8) Reverse broken-glass policying policies from the top down. Have officers focus on real crime as a priority and deprioritize non-violent crimes.

@pthenq1 Thanks I saw it, I watched the whole trial so far uncut.
We are only 2 days into the trial of #DerekChauvin regarding the murder of #GeorgeFloyd and the evidence is so overwhelmingly damning I will be really surprised and dismayed if he gets anything less than 2nd degree murder.
Lane, the other cop on the scene, repeatedly asked cauvin to get off his neck and take a pulse with cauvin repeatedly refusing. Even when Lane managed to take a pulse with cauvin continuing to suffocate Floyd he stated he could not find a pulse and was afraid his heart had stopped. Despite this Cauvin continued to suffocate the man for several minutes as they waited for the ambulance to arrive.
Worse yet when the ambulance arrived they asked Chauvin to get off of Floyd so they can check if he was ok (or even alive) and Chauvin refused forcing the ambulance EMT to physically push Chauvin off of him. It was indeed confirmed his heart had stopped and chest compressions were administered the whole way to the hospital with no luck.
I'd say suffocating a person and then continuing to do it after every indication the guys heart stopped until someone physically has to pull you off is pretty much second degree murder no matter what defense you use.
@trinsec Yup, in fact that damn snake was trying to help, once everyone ate the apple they were running around naked so adam didnt get all horny every time eves tities jiggled.
@hector No they named it CoV-SARS-2 , COVID-19 is not the name of the virus.
Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. Forcing someone to violate the fda recommended dosage on a vaccine by doubling up on it simply because it was before official records were kept... this effectively risks a persons health without any health benefits, which seems wrong.
In your case its a vaccine we all get every 7 years anyway so doesnt exactly apply to other once-and-done vaccines.
Yup that is tetanus alright. Well scary to know they are already doing this at all. What happens if you say you got the vaccine but simply cant obtain proof for reasons outside of your control (records were not even kept for example which is common with birth vaccines for people over 30)?
