Establishment political parties are indeed corrupt. Because of the money allowed in politics. We have two choices: 1. Revolt, which, with the apathy that is currently obvious in America will not succeed 2. Work with the democratic party to try to move them in the right direction. No good options

Mark Kitson (@mrkkits.bsky.social) reply parent
Sorry you feel that way. That hasn't been my experience. Years as a firefighter/EMT working with officers that were helpful. Hard core? Yes, they have to be sometimes, but helpful beyond belief when they are needed. It's a hard job in a mostly uncaring society. Don't judge all by the acts of a few

Qualified Immunity applies when an officer doing their duty, follows their training and the law. If an officer goes outside their procedures and training or breaks a law they can be prosecuted. Qualified Immunity only keeps them from being sued while doing their duty to the best of their ability
Mark Kitson (@mrkkits.bsky.social) reply parent
Excuse me? Can you please explain what you mean?
Mark Kitson (@mrkkits.bsky.social) reply parent
I absolutely agree all federal agents should be unmasked. If they are afraid of retribution, maybe they should change tactics. Taking a guy at Home Depot trying to get work into custody doesn't require a heavily armed force. It requires tact and compassion.

Let's not forget this is happening. Keep pushing back!
Mark Kitson (@mrkkits.bsky.social) reply parent
We can, and should, do both. Stand against a wannabe dictator and work to make all citizens pay their fair share. On that note: since SCOTUS has decided that corporations are people, they should pay the same rate people pay, no exceptions... Just sayin
Mark Kitson (@mrkkits.bsky.social) reply parent
They may stay silent during an incident to keep it from being even worse. That doesn't mean nothing is done behind the scenes. A lot of disciplinary action takes place without publicity. There are review boards that are not police officers that take action. Dismissals happen pretty frequently
Mark Kitson (@mrkkits.bsky.social) reply parent
It isn't every cop everywhere. Please stop. I am as against trump and his shit as anyone. Some police are bad. Most are good people doing a hard job.

It is unfortunate that a fair percentage of people can't seem to control themselves in tense situations. Police have training, but that doesn't always help. Large city departments have even more issues with this.
Mark Kitson (@mrkkits.bsky.social) reply parent
Unfortunately I have been acquainted with a retired LAPD officer that was damaged by the job. Some of the things they experience is horrific. That doesn't excuse this behavior of course. Big city departments seem to have a large percentage of these guys, sadly.
Mark Kitson (@mrkkits.bsky.social) reply parent
Thank you
Mark Kitson (@mrkkits.bsky.social) reply parent
I agree that some departments absolutely have a cultural issue handed down by poor leaders. I have seen this and abhor it. I have also seen police organizations that are very well run, and the officers understand their jobs. Not to say all are great. Some cannot manage the power of the position
Mark Kitson (@mrkkits.bsky.social) reply parent
I know a large number of officers. I simply mentioned some examples. If your BIL actually said that, he should probably find a different career At the time of the incident most officers won't intervene, it would make the situation worse. The behind the scenes reviews will not happen in public
Mark Kitson (@mrkkits.bsky.social) reply parent
I certainly agree with that!!

Mark Kitson (@mrkkits.bsky.social) reply parent
Police are not taught that we are the enemy. Some seem to get to that point unfortunately because of what they experience. Most actually take classes in interpersonal communications. Some don't manage to get the point. Some are indeed not suited for the job, and should be removed. They are people
Mark Kitson (@mrkkits.bsky.social) reply parent
Again, please don't generalize. It is the same as saying, all doctors are bad, or all lawyers are bad, or all teachers are bad. It just isn't true. Police officers have a very difficult job. Some are unable to handle it, most are there for the right reasons.
Mark Kitson (@mrkkits.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm very sorry you feel that way. I hope you never need a police officer to help you
Mark Kitson (@mrkkits.bsky.social) reply parent
Have to disagree... I have had too many good friends that are officers. The large majority are good people trying to do a difficult job. Unfortunately some slip through that shouldn't.
Mark Kitson (@mrkkits.bsky.social) reply parent
We all must find our peace when and where we can. Embrace the fact that the majority of people truly are good and kind. Don't let media distort your perception. We all must find our space to decompress and do so when we feel overwhelmed.

Donold is simply a sad excuse for a human being. It is so sad that so many accept his vitriol because of their racist, sexist, inhumane preconceptions. I wish we could somehow help them to see they are not being threatened by 99.9999% of people of color, and that their mothers are women.

Unfortunately some people that become police officers don't have the psychological tools to handle difficult situations. The ones, like this gentleman, should be removed from the profession.

The First Amendment protects the right to challenge the government. When the government is violating people’s rights, protest is patriotic. The President thinks protesters are troublemakers who need to be silenced by force. Well, sign me up for some of that good trouble. See you on No Kings Day!
