Question: Do you believe Black people are human beings?

That question needs to be asked of EVERY police officer candidate. A simple yes is insufficient. The consequence of a NO should be obvious.

Every police officer needs to be reinterviewed every year to establish justification and fitness for continued trust of office. Psych Evals need to be done every year. Physical fitness standards must be maintained. You wanna be a fat fucking cop, get a job where that is a requirement...like politician.

No overweight, out of shape, cigarette smoking cop should ever be allowed to carry a weapon of any sort. You want to carry a gun, prove that it’s your tool of last resort, not a desperate first choice.

High school education is NOT sufficient.

Low pay is unacceptable.

50% of all union dues for cops must go to a victims of cops abuse fund.

Again: do you believe Black people are human beings?

Invest in different priorities. We spend too much on militarizing the police and too little in smart community enforcement.

up the only "race" we have, which is The Human Race. Anybody who fails to answer correctly will
be kept after school and "fool-shamed".
