Law enforcement is akin to the Catholic Church in this, if you do not remove the abusive ones completely, they don’t stop being a danger to the innocent public. They move on to perpetrating more damaging malfeasance while continuing to abuse and degrade their authority.
Forgiveness does not stop them. Covering up for them does not make it go away. Bad cops, like bad priests, should be thrown out onto the street without further access to their prior uniform, prosecuted, convicted, and punished by the full extent of the law.
Anything else is endorsing and abetting their crimes against the people they are sworn to protect.

maybe white pushback against the African American History Museum is about something more
When we, as white people in this country, say a museum of African American history doesn’t tell our stories too, we’re lying. It does. It just tells stories that don’t put us in the best light, stories that show our ancestors on the wrong side of history, stories that we’re simply not proud of.
Maybe your story isn’t like mine. Maybe your ancestors weren’t here at the beginning of this nation. Maybe you want to shrug off our racist past as not being your own. If so, I get that. But I’d also challenge you to think about the privileges we – all white people – get when people who look like us have held the most power in politics and business and churches and education and more in this country. That history is why skin-colored bandaids are made to match us while I have to special order ones for my black children. It’s why shows that feature people who look like me are simply called shows but ones that feature a primarily black cast are called black entertainment. It’s why, out of the top 500 grossing companies in our country, only 5 have black CEOs while the vast majority look like me (or, more accurately, my husband). It’s why for the past 21 years, only 10% of children’s books included multicultural content while it’s easy for white children to see themselves reflected there. It’s why, even in 2003, the same resume from a stereotypically white-sounding name got 50% more callbacks than an identical resume from a stereotypically black-sounding names. I could go on – as this famous piece does – but I think I’ve made my point. Even if your ancestors didn’t engage in the racist acts that mine did, the benefits of white privilege afforded to me are also available to you.
African American history is American history. It is. But as white people have historically gotten to write the history books and control the biases there, we have been able to rewrite stories to favor us a bit more. (One reason black homeschooling is on the rise, in fact, is this failure for public schools to teach history through anything but a Euro-centric lens.) For example, one textbook recently raised eyebrows by referring to those brought by the slave trade as immigrant “workers” with the implication that they were paid or came by choice. Even the misunderstandings about slavery’s role in the Civil War can be traced back to textbooks whitewashing our history.
Damn girl, just dishing out truth and reality check left and right.
Good on ya, Sister!!!

City to Pay $5.75 Million Over Death of Mentally Ill Inmate at Rikers Island
treatment provided to Mr. Ballard by the city’s Correction Department and by a city contractor, Corizon Health, was “so incompetent and inadequate as to shock the conscience.”
The commission, a prison watchdog agency, said it found that Mr. Ballard, 39, was deprived of medication for his diabetes and schizophrenia, and even running water in his cell.
“Had Ballard received adequate and appropriate medical and mental health care and supervision and intervention when he became critically ill, his death would have been prevented,” the commission said.
The city medical examiner ruled that Mr. Ballard’s death was a homicide.

Video shows police fatally shooting a 6-year-old autistic boy in the back of a car News
A police chase in Marksville, Louisiana last November ended in the fatal shooting of Jeremy Mardis, who was riding in the back of his father’s car.
Video shows police fatally shooting a 6-year-old autistic boy in the back of a car | VICE News
The only thing more disgusting than the actions of the murderous unfit-to-be-officers-of-the-law thugs is the feces that people are spewing about how it is always the fault of the victim for not cooperating with the police or -even worse- the vile spewed by those who are trying to twist this tragedy into an attack on the validity of the Black Lives Matter movement. So some black cops killing a white child prove that their is no systematic racism in this country? No, try again white trash. Try again. You’re response disproves your own point.

This is why we need body cams on all police, at all times. And it should running every second that they are on duty. No turning the video or audio on or off. If the officers involved in an incident are not violent criminals then they will have nothing to hide. And if they are, they need to immediately lose their job and their pension and be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Anything else is aiding and abetting the crimes they commit.

It is progress that these two violent thugs have been charge with murder and not the lesser charge of manslaughter.
Next thing we need to start doing as a society?
Charge any and all officers on the scene who do not offer or procure medical help for those injured by law enforcement with 1st degree murder, because they are -in effect- sentencing those who have been shot to die.

It doesn’t matter what the pig’s defense is, this is murder. Pure and simple. No cause for it. No justification for it. Just unwarranted violence and the ending of an innocent life.
Until officers are charged, convicted, and sentence for their violent crimes like anyone else who they are unfit to uphold the law.
