I agree they need ti be held accountable but if cops find out they will be given harsher sentences than the criminals they are sent to capture? They will not sign up for the job.

Upping the fear of getting imprisoned longer than the criminals you are sent out to face? Yeah, no. Its not logical, nor fair. They should receive maximum punishment for the crimes they commit. If they kill someone, 2nd degree, if they are driving on their phone, reckless endangerment. But you can't just double the sentence and expect to have cops that still want to do the work. As you know, cops are essentially our mafia, and ALL of their work is technically 'illegal' its just we deem it necessary and give these people the badge of rights to do it.

May the victims find healing, peace, and perhaps in time, forgiveness.

And his words also apply to those of us who are part of the white working class as well. Malcolm was a leader whose political perspective we ALL need to review because the poverty-pimps in both parties will be claiming in November that THEY are the best fox to guard the hen house. We need strong, militant unions in EVERY workplace; in every community as a start.

@@zeroturn7091 Not true, as I said holding onto hate will just destroy the person. It does no one any good. Forgiveness is simply a way to move on, it’s not giving the ones who wronged you a pass. Life’s too short to be pissed off, hateful, and bitter all the time. Forgiveness is a sign of strength
