Now as to issues.
Pull your head out and read this time: How people respect and cooperate with the Police is the issue, not Chauvin or your friends at DPD who never worry about the cops murdered by that BLM supporter a few years back, or whether the mayor will throw them under the bus the next time there is a media story about all cops being bad.
It's about frank discussion about keeping young men alive when they encounter police, by avoiding confrontation and by police building rapport with communities, which most cops do anyway.
Yeah, I've addressed that already:
"No verdict can restore a life but this is as close as we get to justice when somebody dies: accountability. Whether that brings peace to the Floyd family? I don't know.
Officers who act like Chauvin just make the world harder for everybody, but especially for other cops. The good ones have to deal with the damage to the relationship between officers and the citizens they try to serve.
The Libertarian Party is working to end qualified immunity so that officers may hesitate before they deny someone their rights.
The LP also want to reduce the number of times an officer has to deal with a citizen by reducing the number of police interactions that do not involve violence: abolish victimless crimes like drug possession, consensual sex between adults, braiding hair without a state license, selling cigarettes individually, working without "your papers", etc.
There are concrete things we can do to make the world both safer and more free."
“Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place.” (The Law, p.6) Frederic Bastiat
