The notorious Memphis jail does not have working locks on a large fraction the cell doors. This has been true since at least April.

take away their immunity from consequences, when i was a kid they were just another guy w/ a job that could get his ass kicked after work for being a dick like everyone else in the world. disrespect somebody's grandma FAFO, hit a guy w/ hands cuffed behind his back, see ya after work, parking lot

That's how it should be. I wonder what changed to make that stop happening? I mean, they gotta take the uniform off sometime.

when there were consequences, shit didn't happen like now, there was no such thing as a "karen" they'd get smacked.
it used to be only the person who started the fight got arrested, even if he got beat up, FAFO was the law of the land.
i still don't know what changed it.

What good does this do, until the officers who make the choices face the consequences of their actions? What good is fining a union if they can just demand more money next year from the city who fined them? Individual officers must be held accountable before change will happen.

Done ✅

So...do these officers get terrorism charges, too?

No immunity for murderous cops. All of them must be personally insured to pay out all judgments. When they are dropped from the insurance companies they will become unemployable in law enforcement.

Consent decrees work. I live in small city that had one and it helped. Truth is good cops want rid of bad cops.

A quarter step at best

I'm going to miss the days when the DOJ actually protected We the People, instead of enabling the abuse of rights as we are about to see over the next four years...
