If we don't dis-incentivize non-judicial murder, it's just going to keep happening. We can prosecute all the cops we want (and I hope Breonna's murderers get thrown under the jail...) but if we don't go after the ones who hire them and allow an atmosphere of toxic racism to persist at police precincts, it's just going to keep happening.

(31,261 posts)police officers that commit clear murder to prison. Until then, it is easier and more effective to reform police department procedures and hiring/training practices. I believe one thing should happen is using Civil Service Exam scores as only one of a mix of factors that are viewed when deciding to hire. Also, getting rid of generational hiring.
