I can tell you what NOT to do. What you don’t do is have the Attorney General come on national TV and paint cops as the victims after a rash of unjustifiable police brutality and shootings like they did after Ferguson 2, St. Louis, Chicago, Baton Rouge and Baltimore. Ha. They kill a thousand U.S. citizens in one year and ask us to believe that they are the victims. Right after that, snipers attacked and killed the cops in Dallas and Baltimore. How’s it really feel to be a victim, fellas? Fucking idiots.
If you want the public to become confident that cops are actually here to serve and protect the majority of the public, they will institute more education as to how to handle the homeless, the mentally disturbed, more on passive takedowns—- and stop tasering and shooting unarmed nutcases you sadistic fuckwads.
Have the Attorney General come out and admit the stupidity and abuse of self-policing themselves, that independent agencies will take this over, that police departments around the nation will be educated in courses as mentioned above, and anger management and psych evals will take place to help weed out the maniacs.
That would go a long way in convincing the rest of us that they are actually trying to become a decent public service agency instead of a bunch of cloistered, paranoid, ignorant bigots with a government sanctioned armory.
There will always be nasty, crazy bastards that need to be shot. It’s totally wrong that those bastards are sometimes cops.
