Then there wouldn't be anymore cops left to patrol the dangerous streets of Chicago.

If we didn't need so many cops to patrol these areas, perhaps police departments could increase the standard it takes to be one.

So I guess they think it would be ok to use a skin-color test to disqualify candidates, just as long as "the same standards were applied to everyone".

The cops should have the right to do whatever they want.

Your job is to shut up and comply.

i disagree, 90% of the cops on the beat today are good hardworking cops doing a tough job. the problem is the 10% that go rouge and think the badge gives them power they dont have. and the only way they are going to be stopped is if we the people file charges against them in federal court for violations of our civil rights. we also need to record LEOs in the field to protect ourselves.

10% will have a very large effect...

Again, this is the WRONG way to present an argument. All it does is cause people to take sides over something most would otherwise come together on.

But they want the public to tell. Our justice system is a joke right now. The most dangerous ones are prob working with LEO. The more dangerous ones work higher than that.
