Since we're focused on SOLUTIONS, lets float some legislation and ordinances we want implemented

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

These are a few that I've been thinking of lately...


1. Felonies for tampering with official police camera recordings
2. All police killings are subject to immediate federal investigation and maintained by federal prosectors. Not local prosectors.
3. Police are subjected to a sort of UCMJ like soldiers are but separate and new agency designed to oversee it...
4. Federal funding rebates on the purchase of less-lethal crowd control and police weapons. (makes these options more attractive)
5. Automatic review of officers who fail a battery of assessments that align with social interaction and psychological tests.
6. A change in the introduction of evidence regarding police killings and abuses (the wording can change)
7. Automatic sentencing of law enforcement abuses.

I know federal review of local police might scream "tyranny" for the states-rights crowd, but some additional oversight is needed for these people at this point. Something has to change and some accountability must be brought into place.


If the goal is to get politicians and leaders to change things, we need changes infrastructure and the institution that will result in measurable changes...social reform and changing attitudes takes decades.

Changing the law can happen overnight.

I'm impress. Are you planning to frame those solution into a national petition? A suspension on law enforcement's salary while investigation of excessive force is in motion should be mandated and include into your list of solution.

Not sure...but I've often considered convincing some people with more access than I have to have a conference of some sort to draft some legislation and get some congressmen on board.

Hell, every other lobbying group out there does the exact same thing when it comes to business.

To convince state legislators to add the feds in every police case related to police brutality, is going to be difficult. They will perceive the additional federal examination as a longer process and lack of trust between local authorities and the people.

The other suggestion are reasonable though

very similar to what I've been thinking about. But how can we get this shyt going. What so we need to do?

 

[Claudex]

We can't demand policy changes without data, because the police will always submit their own fabricated reasons in order to justify their need for even more powers than they already have. So that should be step number one, asking that states demand that PD's provide them with data for analysis. Such as is happening in North Carolina.

It's important to note that this step is being taken thanks to the protests in Ferguson where date acquiring is also to take place I believe. Through data the right change can be demanded and non-denied, and from then on the data acquisition ought to continue so as to see how to better manage PDs.

TL;DR: Numbers are our friends.

1. legalize weed on a federal level
2. cops who are sued for misconduct lose that money from their pensions. no more taxpayers paying for cop's brutality. cop's have no reason to behave because even when they are sued, we foot the bill

I know, but the problem is that we don't have any black people with money to be taken seriously to buy off politicians.

We have to seriously start playing ball cause all these emotional arguments only get you so far.

Clarify...

I think I'm being reasonable here.

Even getting ONE variant of these laws in place would radically change a lot of things.

The formula is set. Other groups do this all the time.

very similar to what I've been thinking about. But how can we get this shyt going. What so we need to do?

1. We need black money used to promote a sort of constitutional congress of issues that develop legislation to be used among black politicians in prominent state levels in black states like GA, DMV, Cali, NY and Texas we well as prominent members of the Congressional Black Caucus

2. Black entertainers gotta throw in...and not be scared to. Part of the problem is that serious black money is only tied up in millionaires who are ENTERTAINERS and thus these people can't speak out without jeopardizing their ability to make money...if we had less black money in people who didn't depend on their likability and fans essentially instead of business, then they could actually change a few things.

3. A FEW simple social campaigns like smartly crafted messages proposing a list of demands that focus less on "minorities" and reframing the argument more towards general civil rights ( controversial I know) will help to normalize the issue and make it something that even those who are skeptical get behind it

4. NO RELIGIOUS ANGLE OR EMOTIONAL ARGUMENTS. This has to be PURELY focused on a respect for civil rights and accountability. No more "dialogues" and "talks" and rallies.

Companies don't do that corny shyt. They raise money. Learn to lobby. And use the system by throwing money around to get the laws they want passed.

Look up bodies like ALEC.

Couple things -

1. It should be MANDATORY to have special prosecutors brought in, in ANY indictment/case where a cop is accused of wrongdoing (whether it's murder or a lesser charge). Your average local/state prosecutor has a HUGE incentive to stay on good terms with the police and thus throw cases.

2. In addition to cameras, police should be required to keep the cameras on. There should be automatic disciplinary action for any cop who makes an arrest or otherwise gets involved in an altercation and has their camera off.



Those are the only two things I can think of at the moment.
