For every public servant. Every department in the nation has bad cops. Until these bad cops are put in cuffs by coworkers when they witness abuses of power then they are all bad! I don’t even feel comfortable with patrol officers having firearms anymore. Every day the divide and hatred grows between those in power and the People.

has caused a few states to end qualified immunity for police. NM is one of them. We also ended civil asset forfeiture, which also added to more professional behavior.

This is a discussion of why ending qualified immunity at the state level has been such a struggle--old article, no paywall: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/qualified-immunity-police-lobbying-state-legislatures/2021/10/06/60e546bc-0cdf-11ec-aea1-42a8138f132a_story.html

Congress needed to act on this one, too. Now nothing will be done until we get rid of the Republican majority.

Is it your life mission to criticize others who don't share your views?

Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultra-nationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition.

He may have been disgusted, but he simply got in his car and drove away. He didn’t intervene. He didn’t attempt to help the victim or correct the offending officers. The video doesn’t even note whether he reported the incident. The best that can be said about the “good” officer, is that he declined to get his licks in.

I don't agree with some of his beliefs (specifically related to gun rights) but he's consistent and informative.
