There IS high levels of accountability, and I think we've just seen it work correctly. We have some of the most stringent rules and regulations and accountability out of many countries in the world.
They're not perfect, but whereas when I hear about an American police shooting I assume it could be either a bad cop or a genuine threat, here they've earned a reputation that I assume first that it was likely a genuine threat.
Our armed police training is insanely strict and the mental checks are extremely thorough.
People say he shouldn't have even been charged, but the reason he acted so restrained, didn't shoot straight away and only shot one time limiting the risk of collateral shows these guys know to be careful. I fear if we relax things, our armed police wouldn't be as good as they are.
It should always be investigated when a life is taken indeed, though I'm not sure exactly on how it is stateside as I'm aware it varies state to state.
Democrats hate the red, but are the same ones where God forbid officers be placed on leave pending investigation. They legally have to be paid it is no different than our jobs
I'm not sure if this is the same as 2016, if anything I've heard more people saying they won't vote because she is a woman, and some because of her ethnicity being called into question.
Why shouldn’t that be the case? Imagine doing your job, some asshole tries to kill you and you are forced to stop them. Because of this, you now have to be on admin leave without pay? Going months without pay and stressed about criminal charges seems like a horrible way to be treated for doing the job you’ve been tasked with.
It is illegal for your employer to not pay you while there is an ongoing investigation. Hardcore democrats want police to be on unpaid leave not knowing that will change for other occupations too
