Over $13.88, CO cop beats up "frail" 73 year old woman with Dementia to defend Walmart

This is why I will advocate with all my power for complete police reform from top down here in Arizona if elected next year to the Arizona House.

This is inexcusable. The police department is being sued and, as shameless as Walmart is, Walmart need to be held accountable since the woman offered to pay (since it appears she forgot due to her dementia) and they refused to allow her to do it.

"Why are you making me do this to you" the cop says while putting his hand over his bodycam (which I believe should be grounds for immediate termination with cause). All abused people know that question, since abusers never can admit they are responsible for their actions, then make use logical gymnastics and arrogance to justify their abuse and gaslight the victim and anyone who saw it.

I just learned something today from my trumper neighbor

I just got told by my Trumper neighbor that lived in Austin "Robert E Lee Drive" and and "Jeff Davis Way" were named after "not the general" and the "former Gov. of Arkansas." It isn't "Davis' fault that his parents gave him that name.

After picking up my jaw, I told him that Jeff Davis was the president of the confederacy, something every 5th grade social studies student knows, and if it weren't named after the general, I asked if it was named after one of the writers of the plays "The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail" and "Inherit the Wind." I then said I didn't know Texas appreciated theatre that much."

I learned that Texas really loves the acting and writing arts.

BTW, this all started when I smiled and said hello picking up a package on my front porch and he started yelling about my trying to change names of things here in Arizona that honest murderers of native Americans, like Wasson Peak, Oury Rec Center, anything Samuel Hughes, and Safford, AZ, the city.

Position Paper - Police Reform

Due to this this incident, I believe I should announce my position on police reform.

I believe police must be held to the highest of standards due to the power and authority given to them with their position and their AZPOST certification.

I support the following:

A: Laws requiring bodycams to be on all officers with no ability for them to be turned off.
B: Updating AZPOST requirements to include de-escalation and human psychology training.
C: Qualified immunity must be abolished. Those who abuse their position as an officer must be held liable, as do those officers that give cover to those that abuse their position.
D: Treating AZPOST certification the same as teacher certification, where it can be suspended or revoked due to misconduct, where revocation is a lifetime revocation.
E: Updating hiring requirements, and making psychological assessments required for renewal of AZPOST certification.
F: Ending internal affairs and making all investigation of police misconduct run by a community police oversight committee when needed. No other job in the country investigates itself.
G: Turning all police resumes, records, and bodycam footage into public records, similar to teacher resumes in Arizona schools.

No more CYA of police agencies hiding their dirty laundry. Joel John believes, in his voting records, that police must be automatically respected. I believe that respect must be earned and trust my be re-established.

Don't blame GA and TX. They are just making laws. And they need to be enforced

This will be the logic. That these laws reinforce majority rule and, just like the robots at the Border Patrol who hide behind "enforcing the law" and "call your Congressman, I'm just doing my job," the enforcers of these laws will follow the "just following orders and the law" defense.

I find this reprehensible.

Let's look at other laws that people said "I'm just doing my job" and "call your Congressman."

01: Alien and Sedition Act of 1799, where newspaper people could be arrested and jailed for criticizing the Adams presidency.
02: Indian Removal Act of 1830, where people were forced off their land by a psychotic president.
03: Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, which required people to capture fugitive slave, and prosecute those that knowingly didn't.
04: Black Codes after the Civil War, which started Jim Crow
05: Plessy v. Ferguson, that established separate by equal
06: Laws that prevented women to vote, which led to led to suffragettes being beaten for daring to vote.
07: Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, which banned Chinese immigration
08: Asia Act of 1924, which banned all Asian immigration
09: Executive Order 9066, which put Japanese people into concentration camps during WW2
10: Anti Sodomy Laws that were used to prosecute and jail homosexuals
11: Anti vagrancy Laws that ARE used to prosecute and jail the homeless
12: Anti gay marriage laws that denied gay American citizens the ability to marry
13: Anti Abortion laws between 1973 that forced women into alley abortions or to use metal hangers
14: Anti-indecency laws that outlawed the F word, which outlawed the ability to say F the government legally
15: Volstead Act of 1920, that turned people into criminals for having a beer.

Using "well it's the law" has been abused too long. Henry David Thoreau spent a night in jail refusing to pay his taxes on a war trumped up by Napoleon of the Stump used as land grab. Stanton and Anthony went to jail to protect laws denying women the vote. King did too as it applied to black people. So did Gandhi when the British passed a law banning speaking out against war in India during WW2. So did Mandela when Apartheid was the law of South Africa.

Bad laws are passed by bad people, and bad police enforce bad laws because the cycle of bad is forever busy, and needs feeding.

We need to reject "the law is the law" in cases like the GA and TX and (soon to be) AZ neo Jim Crow. Javert complexes of "the law is the law and the law is not mocked" was BS in the defense of Nazis and the Japanese. . .it is BS here.

Law making is normally abused by one side

Remember when the GOP accused HRC of running a sex trafficking ring out of a DC pizzeria?

Ummmmm. . .yeah.

About that. . .Ummmmmmmm. . .

Amazing how projection works.
