This is absurd. We built this database to stop officers who commit misconduct at one police agency from being rehired at another. It's about transparency and safety -- it helps the hiring agencies and the public. With due process protections. Trump shut it down - ThreadSky

Is it "delete" or re-lable, or are there no backup files? I don't trust any info from certain sources these days. There's a huge whiff of "we say we're doing this but haha we can't really" BS going around to stir up shirt.

Not needed now, as those committing misconduct at one police agency probably won't be fired or even reprimanded anymore. That was one of those annoying changes they're doing away with.

This is how a career criminal operates. He fires inspectors general, and takes down any group dedicated to actual policing or oversight.

It’s horrifying, but not at all surprising. The “bad apple” types are the ones this regime loves most.

Trump backs the blue*, which he understands to mean encouraging cops to be as brutal & lawless as they want towards people they arrest (“You can take the hand off”, etc.), so this is the logical extension of that.

* Unless they’re trying to stop his supporters from doing an insurrection, that is.

Trump is the pro-abuse president. These are the "good guys" in his mind

I know the hard work you and many others put into this. Unfortunate to see it go and that Congress could never get its act together.

the cruelty is the point. And the goal.

I hope someone has been copying all the information from the website and holding it until we can restore sanity.

He can't build a Gestapo out of honest cops.

The lack of a system like this is how we ended up with an unfit police officer being hired by Cleveland Police Department and, within seconds of arriving on the scene, killing 12-year-old Tamir Rice in a park in 2014. And many other tragedies.

The database Biden created had the public support of FOP, IACP, PERF, MCCA, and many others in law enforcement. Not to mention civil rights groups and the families of many people killed by officers.

Don't take my word for it
