But first he’ll send in troops that lack identification, so it’s hard for anyone to know who they work for…

A perfect example of a REMF – leading from the rear and while in a safe and secure place.

Exactly. Why would you sent prison guards who aren’t trained for handling riots. Sooner or later, everyone will just be bringing their own guns to the protests.

I thought sewer covers were round.

Seems like the SMA and more then a few Generals are pointing out this is against the law. And are not opposed to protests.

In the meantime, he’ll be hiding in his bunker.

I want that comic as a screensaver.

But….“76% approval with Republicans thank you”. Is his answer to EVERYTHING.

I’m surprised he hasn’t pulled us out of the Geneva Convention. But he probably has no idea it exists or what it might do, so unless someone explains it in one-syllable words in under a minute, no problem.

The people are leading, the government is failing.

Snerk! Love the,‘Bunker Inspector’, hat! Ha ha ha ha!

For YEARS now there have been multiple police chiefs who have worked at calling attention to the problem of being forced to rehire dirty and violent cops they had fired for abuses. Those chiefs want to protect both the public and the good cops from the violence that bad cops inevitably bring upon all.

Camden hit on a solution for other reasons but it also tackled that problem (though Camden still badly needs to increase some other types of community services such as ambulance squads):

If more communities looked seriously at such approaches then perhaps it would become easier to have people who are fired for abuses stay fired. Ditto if legislation and courts better supported those firings, and prosecutions of such abusers.

Or tackle the problem from the start by requiring more training for police. There are a great many other industrialized nations which have much longer and involved training than happens in the U.S., with some even requiring that applicants to study policing first have degrees in psychology, sociology, or anthropology.

Finally, definitely outlaw certain practices by police. Some will still happen and then they must FINALLY be able to be successfully prosecuted and jailed. The Minneapolis Murderer used a restraint that is not taught in any state and illegal in Minnesota from what I have read.
