Discussion- ending militarization of police, police brutality and gov sanctioned murder by LEO.

38. I'm talking personal insurance...take classes, take tests, get certified...not just police academy.

Call it the Civilian Oversight Program and Errors and Omissions Insurance...and yes, it has to be federal...without prejudice. If a real estate agent has to carry it in case they miss an easement or the owner fails to disclose something or they get sued for a misleading MLS listing...and it's not cheap...just a few infraction and a license is revoked.

So then professions who have the capacity to take lives need it, too. Same terms...just a few infractions, and a license is gone.

That's why they are getting away with it...no accountability. A real estate file, OTOH, can be 3 " thick, mostly full of Disclosures and all sorts of legal liability accounted for...mortgage, too, of course. Whistleblowers and cell phone video guaranteed anonymity.

There is a charge for the Police Civilian Training...Testing/Certification. It's good for ? years. Continuing Education Units required to maintain Certificate. Pay to renew every ? years. Every death automatically goes to the Federal Commission and just like Ferguson, they come in and review the department's everything. The cesspool they found there is replicated in many places around the US.

Rates are set up by actuary...level of responsibility and risk...just like any insurance. All dash cams and headgear cams. Begins Day Forward...no past taken into account.

Desk Officers...lowest
Public Safety/Service Officers...a bit higher
Street/Car Officers ... higher and have to pass some other level of civilian understanding and the penalties.
Chief and Department (The City pays the Department...the Chief, like the officers, pays his own)...Chief's policy based on how many officers overseen and overall record.

Every infraction, raises the rates like a Point Count. Any lawsuit goes to the insurance company and proceeds from there.
Limit on points...officer may be relieved of duty, time off to recertify and take classes and start over, quit and get % of pension.
Since the Chief is paying also, he's going to make sure that his officers understand the new rules.

Well, it sounds good anyway.
