Beaten Mom with Toddler ... Demands Officers Be Fired

11. AFSCME would be just fine. Who the hell do they think they are, an occupying army?

We pay their salaries to protect us from bad guys (as they so often like to point out), not be judge, jury, and public executioner on the basis of some whim.

“Defund” is the wrong word. We need to be able to vote for people who will go after their budgets line by line — including the parts where millions of tax dollars go to settlements while nothing changes. We need to take away all the military toys that BushCheney gifted to them after 9-11. All that shit they have such easy access to belongs in the National Guard Armory under lock and key.

All their “unions” with their special off-premises training and their special gang-tattoos and special initiations need to be decertified. There’s a nice legal process for that. And then go after the gang members with the seriousness the situation deserves. I’m looking at you, Los Angeles.

AFSCME would be just fine. Regular hiring and firing would be just fine. Normal resume checks that mean something would be just fine. A person that screws up so badly at a County job that they get fired has to drag that around on their resume forever — not get rehired right away in another locale or another state with a wink and a toothy grin.
