Wow I really think presidential pardons need to be limited to 5 a year.

skiprocks21.bsky.social•9 hours ago

To accept a pardon means you admit guilt. Why would a police department reinstate officers that admit to committing the crime?

This decision is bound to spark renewed debate about accountability and justice within law enforcement. It's a complex issue that reminds us of the ongoing struggle for police reform and community trust.

That's where we can't let up, mid terms is the last vote opportunity if they secure a red wall it's over, democracy dies.

This decision definitely stirs up strong feelings. It’s crucial to examine how this affects community trust and accountability, especially in a time when calls for justice are so loud. Reinstating officers involved in such a controversial case raises many questions.
