Good policemen and women have existed for years but those that rule with an iron fist, make us paint all of them with the same brush…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPhOWCxBkd0
I hope these guys r not just yes men, Bunker boys base. Fact is racist will resist or slow change. They must be outed and banned from civil duties
If this were real journalism, and not basically agitprop with cherry-picked self-serving buffoons, they would have asked them, "By show of hands how many of you believe your own department treats black people unfairly? As the 'police chief' why haven't you been able to fix that, yet?
Sadly these chiefs are completely blind to what is going on. It's not just a few bad apples. That is just plain ignorant.
After defunding occurs and it will, police will need a four year degree. Licensing, at state levels, much like plumbers and electricians, through a national police code. Finally, 4 years of apprenticeship under a licensed officer.
No more 6 months of untrained idiots and no more PTSD soldiers, fresh of the battlefield. They also must pass a psychology exam.
When a white person get killed by a black cop = everything is fine. When a black man get killed by a white cop = apocalypse, racism, xenophobia!
Read the final chapters of the Lord of the Rings. We have too many Shirifs. We are not a lawless society that needs policing. Back up the question to the assumed premise that this whole system is even necessary. There are too many and too little characters of quality.

I never met a policeman who wasn't good to me–but I'm blond and blue eyed. It was never apparent to me that the same policemen treated Mexican and Black people differently–until I saw it for myself.
Police get tested before being hired–but there is no testing for attiiudes/mental health. There should be.
Oh systemic racism. Someone had a shotgun on them while you were in the store. Great example! Do these people even know what systemic racism is?
Keep doing what you are doing Gayle King
Let's be honest with ourselves…yes, racism exist. It always has and always will with the weak minded. However, the mindset of so many liberals today…regardless of race is…"If I am too lazy for honest work or a useful education, too full of false pride to admit wrongs, too impulsive to obey rules and laws, then I must keep the illusion of injustice going…because I have no other excuse for myself."
Get rid of police unions, whose job it is to protect bad cops and turn on other cops or their bosses that try to file complaints about bad cops.
Still no mention that Officer Keung was, identifiable as a Black man.
I think until the system of white supremacy is dismantled, its logical to suspect every single white person is complicit. White isnt even a race, it's a political affiliation globally, agenda is to oppress and terrorize all non white people.
if you are an elite professional of law enforcement, you should be able to stop ALL the crime.. if there is too much crime that you cant stop it all, then you are fabricating and manufacturing too many reasons to be illegal… and you are policing for profit – so you can have a job – rather than policing for the better of the community.
if you want to be treated with Honor, then you have to do honorable acts… you have to make people proud, not ashamed..
Thank you for this conversation
“STRAWBOSS’S”
Starting to think Cops are just Bad! At first I was like get rid of cops are you crazy then I started to think when has a cop helped me mmmmmm can’t remember! When has a cop threatened me … 10 years ago 1 am in the morning banging on my front door spot lights in my face being threatened acting like they were going to kick my door down yelling at me Very aggressive and hostile Cops had wrong house no apology they finally went away I told them I had no idea what they were talking about get a search warrant, thank goodness did not open door! They the Cops have only been mean aggressive hostile writing a couple ridiculous tickets to me for nothing really.. windows to dark.. pure BS the windows were factory! Get rid of the Cops!!

A WHITE HAS NO SUPERIORITY OVER BLACK, NOR A BLACK HAS ANY SUPERIORITY OVER WHITE EXCEPT BY PIETY AND GOOD ACTION
Maybe the white Police Chief from California should check out the video of Tony Timpa being killed by officers from Dallas Police Department. A white man can be killed by police while handcuffed on the ground. Why doesn't Dallas Police Chief Hall respond to why officers in her department were not charged even after a Grand Jury indicted them? They mocked the man and later said, "I think we killed him." Horrible, this crime occurred in 2016. Where is the outrage over police brutality for this killing?
crazy idea — stop committing crimes, and maybe the likelihood for "police brutality" will drop. am i on to something here?
40% of police have domestic abuse history. Kinda puts a hole in the one chief's theory that only 4% are bad.
Everything is being done except for convicting bad, corrupt cops harshly and severely. Everything is being done except for getting bad, dirty corrupt cops off the streets and severely punished and convicted like the criminals they are. Everything is being done except for punishing and convicting dirty and corrupt leadership and take them off the streets and seal them away to where they can no longer harm the citizens and our country.When you disband and defund a terrorist group, does that stop the terrorist group? All those that protect dirty corrupt cops, are in your face daily and on record of doing so.You take away a cannibals fork and knife, do you still believe that the cannibal will not eat you? The cannibal needs to be locked away. The dirty cops need to be locked away. The dirty corrupt leadership needs to be locked away. All that have and are continuing to commit crimes against humanity in the name and support of the deep state should be locked away The good cops need payback We need payback for the good cops. What is leadership if it bares no justice? What is leadership in law that bears no justice? I say it is in fact what it is, a terrorist occupation. To defund police forces, is to leave them to have their terrorism funded by someone else. Judgement and conviction must be swiftly enacted.. and in every past tense of the word.
O SNAP
BIG HISTORY
ANYONE OUT THERE WHO THINKS COPS ARE RACIST OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T HAVE A P.B.A CARD.
We'll see what happens. I'm glad the one chief stated the history of the police.
Don' t confuse about Black live , in USA only all Americans lives Matters , No Blk , No White,
No Red , No Yellow …
No doubt, police reform is needed. But you can't disband the whole police force
The police rush to judgment whenever they show up in our Communities. They are treated much better than their victims. We are unsafe to even point it out,they are allowed to arrest you for speaking up. They can smear your name,even if you have no priors. They show up having the high ground and defending yourself from their brutality is a killable offence in their eyes. All of that has to change.
