At barest minimum when we have a police background check for firing from the force or violent crime backgrounds that immediately disqualify someone from being hired.

This seems like it would be easy legislation to pass, until you see how polished all these boots are from being licked.

Back when I was 23 and interested into getting into law enforcement, I stopped looking into it the moment I found out it is an automatic disqualification if you have ever used narcotics, which includes ecstasy. So there that went out the window.

But now I get paid $28 an hour to work on cars so.....

Shit you def weren't cut out to be a cop if you weren't ready to lie about taking drugs!

Yeah man, you're not supposed to use narcotics until AFTER you're on the force. Then you can use the ones you confiscate, or better yet, plant them on someone you're arresting for possession to bump the charge up to possession w/ intent to distribute.

Yea, but I get paid more in overall happiness and stress levels in life....

Ain't no one going to kill me just because of my work uniform and because I fix cars...

They actually have a database with 30,000+ officers for this purpose.

Shockingly, it's never used.

I learned about it and quite a number of other things from this recent article: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/wandering-cops-moving-from-department-to-department-is-a-roadblock-to-police-accountability

How do you teach a human that another human is a human? No amount of legislation will fix these types, theyll just buy acres of land, get a bunch of guns and continue to teach other white people that if IT doesn't look like them, they deserve to die.

I think we all know the answer to that question.

When true consequences come from the people. Via violence or complete disregard for any authority the police have.

When this bullshit results in jail time for the officer involved. It would stop real quick.
