(8,049 posts)I want the police departments changed, cleansed of racists, totally investigated by independent parties...I mean DEEPLY investigated, and more highly educated cops hired, which MAY cost more!
I actually think if we got rid of all the dirty cops, especially the ones with seniority who call the shots, the good cops would be a lot happier without the pressure on themselves.
But, like I said in another post somewhere, white people need to organize in every state to start and KEEP putting pressure on police departments, city councils, and state and federal officials to STOP the two-class treatment of people in this country. Police have one set of laws, and the rest of us have another. That has to stop. Immediately.
And we can't stop until we have completed this change in the culture.
We need independent investigations of every single incidence of brutality, and we need to totally purge our police departments of racists and arrogant assholes on a power trip.
