Been tried in Mexico, and that ain't working well either. You end up having the army doing civil law enforcement. They can't even nationalize education. No way the locals let the Feds handle law enforcement.

I'm not entirely clear on whether it's even copacetic Constitutionally speaking.

Plus, look at federalized security services like the TSA ... I mean, it doesn't get more blue-ribbon than that outfit of fuckwits and ne'er-do-wells ... the WalMart Greeters of the security industry.

I don't think it's a good idea.

But there will be calls for it.

Where's Scorehead?

A lot of people are up in arms on my facebook feed the cops didn't kill this guy, only shot him.

He's probably enjoying Kirkland hot dogs and vodka courtesy of CHUSE.

He was a big proponent of having the National Guard on every street corner.

Where's that fucktwit PittMike to defend this guys right to carry and be beyond pissed about this shooting?

I don't think there is a law based solution to this. It doesn't appear that body or cop car cameras are going to change behavior enough.

It is a societal/cultural issue. There is an open distrust between police and the communities in which they serve. And race/socioeconomic status plays a big part in it.

It is a societal/cultural issue.

No such thing as a good cop. It's an inherently immoral profession.

As dumb as JORR's "No such thing as a good Muslim".

For the most part I think the laws we have are pretty good.

The enforcement is generally the biggest problem.

Cops are asked to act as mini judges several times per day. One error in judgment negates hundreds of correct judgments.

Apples and oranges. Someone being a Muslim shouldn't affect me at all. A police officer has to enforce immoral laws using violence or the threat of it. Their actions directly affect all of us.

Why the anger man? Isn't that the entire reason our society has crap like this happen?

No the reason we have crap like this happen is because of people like the NRA and Mike who think everybody should be packing, yet go silent when somebody who was legally packing and told the cop he was legally packing (as he should have) and is now dead for a busted tail light. Where is their outrage and full throated defense of this poor guy.

Cops are asked to act as mini judges several times per day. One error in judgment negates hundreds of correct judgments.

Very true. Not sure why anyone would ever want to become a cop in today's world.

And we will never really know what happened in the moments right before he shot the guy in the car. Looks horrible and the cop very well maybe completely guilty....but whether he is or not the court of public opinion has determined him 100% guilty.

Awful situation. The poor child that had to be in the car while that happened? Her life is forever impacted because of such violence.

I disagree. A loud minority of people have a problem but the overwhelming majority of the public support cops and generally give them the benefit of the doubt in all cases and at times go out of their way to excuse their behavior.

I am not really seeing that today I guess. It seems everyone I read or hear are agreed that the cop is guilty here. I don't see people supporting cops and giving him the benefit of the doubt.

I don't think that's fair. We aren't complaining about a copy detaining the wrong guy or making some minor error. MANY people are upset with excessive force and abuse of all citizens and primarily minorities. MANY people are upset with the use of deadly force in instances where it doesn't appear force was necessary. MANY people are upset with the appearance that ALL cops are above the law.
