Policy Brutality
Let's stop police brutality. A law needs to be in place nationally for all police officers that they can no longer threaten and physically abuse and use unnecessary force to suspects, especially if suspected of being mentally ill, and
those that are not a dangerous threat to anyone. The killings and abuse must stop NOW.
Why is this important?
I would like to see some new laws protecting citizens from police officers and police brutality. They have to much power to physically abuse potential suspects, for example Kelly Thomas, Rodney King, kicking a pregnant woman in the
stomach, kicking a woman in the head that was sitting on the
curb handcuffed and not a threat to the officer. I would like to
see some laws passed such as: not allowed to beat someone
in the head with a flashlight or a fist or kicking them, not
allowed to kick pregnant women in the stomach, not allow
officers to pile on top of people causing the suspects ribs to
break and puncture a lung, crushing their windpipe so that
they suffocate. If they suspect a person is mentally ill, there
should be an advocate on duty at all times called to the scene
to assess the suspect and protect suspect and escort the
suspect with the police to a hospital if needed during a mental crisis. If the police cannot assess if a person is mentally ill, perhaps a course in mentall illness should be included in their training along with a course on compassion. The police
should not be bullying suspects or threating them, or
provoking them. They are suppose to serve and protect, not
abuse and kill!
Their job is to apprehend, handcuff, and put in police car for
transport without physically abusing a person. When they use
a stun gun, they cannot expect a person to get up and walk
immediately after that and then continue to drag the person
across the pavement, they cannot stand up because they have just been stunned! They should not be allowed to bully,
antagonize, or threaten. Limits need to be set NOW!
