Outrage after police fatally shoot Jayland Walker in Ohio

[Ana the Ist]

Your Supreme Court came with two rulings. One is qualified immunity, where police officers are not directly responsible in civil claims but the city foots the bill/tab and even worst, some jurisdictions are now legally limiting the monetary amounts that can be claimed. There is also another ruling that says the police do not have a duty to serve and protect the public. It may not be as bad as the Dred Scott ruling which the modern self-righteous generations might thumb their nose at the past, but if you have these crazy legal precedents floating around that protect the police and indirectly encourage police misconduct, whether it is dereliction of duty, or brutality, then you need an amendment.

(ie Amendment 1: Police have a duty to serve and protect.
Amendment 2: Police are civilly responsible for their actions and people can sue them directly for any misconduct claim ).


Now, I'll grant in this political climate it's not likely you'll get that amendment, and the stakes are obviously much lower when talking about law enforcement compared to slavery so I don't think that would lead to a second civil war. An argument for more amendments for the modern era that includes massive police reform, raparations for slavery, Jim Crow, mass incarceration, is at least sound.

The Legal Precedents That Haunt Uvalde - Washington Free Beacon

In Uvalde....the first officer who could have shot the suspect instead called his supervisor for approval, and by the time he got it, the suspect was inside the school.

This is because, arguably, there have been 3 times in recent Texas history where qualified immunity was rejected as a defense of cops shooting armed suspects entering schools.

If you end qualified immunity....cops will wait until the only person left alive to shoot is the suspect.

Have you considered the fact that these racist cops may view other whites with defects as being an contaminant on the white race and want to kill them?

No....I certainly hadn't considered this cartoonish conception of the cops.

That is why its very important to make sure there is no Gustapo-like police force out to get undesirable white people (drug addicts, mentally ill, homeless, etc...), as well as those they consider "others" (other non-white races).

Gustapo....the villianous cops led by the violent corrupt cop Good Grief Gus?

Whites will throw those types of whites they consider "white trash" under the bus. That is why white supremacy is a dangerous game, because it's not just non-whites who are a target, but if you get labelled as "white trash" because of your circumstances, which you can't control, then you can also be in the receiving end of that system.

Or....you've got a wildly distorted sense of the size and scope of a problem and little understanding of its causes.
