10. With apologies to those police men and women who try to uphold laws

and try to treat civilians humanely... tho few and far between, I feel, these days.... I think we stopped having "police forces" when t forced his way into a "second" dishonest term. We now have SS Stormtroopers, regardless of what kind of badge of authority they're suppose to be wearing. A complete and total dismissal of all of them is going to have to be done once the r's are out of office and thrown out of the departments they've dug themselves into. GOOD cops will easily be rehired, once they're records and interviews are conducted. But the bad ones will stand out like sore thumbs and should be ditched. Give policing a chance for others who believe in law and civil, humane conduct... not to mention believing in upholding the Constitution as inviolate. As a note: I have a (small) dog in this fight. I was military police once upon a time. I didn't transition to civilian police because I saw all the ways my beliefs were violated at that time. Haven't changed my mind much since then. Too many free thinkers, POC, women, and children murdered for me to change my mind. And too many cops not having to face any accountability for their actions... which, if ruled in the plaintiff's favor, demand that the taxpayers of the community fork over hard earned money to try to mitigate the damage.
