| Yes, thank you for clarifying your sweeping statements so we could have a conversation :) > I do think there are at least two other possible solutions than getting rid of police unions entirely There is no other solution, it's the corrupt union leaders protecting these cops. The cop that killed Floyd had 17 complaints, his union protected him from being fired.
The unions essentially killed Floyd. There aren't cartel wars going on in the UK, but there is terrorism so I'm not sure whether or not UK should or does have swat/armed police. It's not feasible to take guns away from cops here, there are too many criminals with guns, all major cartels are in Houston for example. MS-13 operates in at least 30 states. I understand everyone wants to feel like they need to argue about this, but no one is saying these specific cops that do harm shouldn't be punished. No group, including the police, are the problem, individual humans (including union leaders and specific politicians) are the problem. tldr: get rid of the police unions and replace the local Democratic leadership in the cities that these events happen in to solve the issue. |
