Ah, California... the stupidity never stops. <sigh>

 

This is the target we used for requals. We always questioned why it is that
we were only shooting white guys.

Since at least 2013, a tremendous number of agencies have suffered from
"Good Idea Fairy" visits. I'm specifically addressing those "good ideas"
that will reportedly fix society's ills but have little to no factual
foundation. Generally, these stem from politicians "doing something" to fix
a problem.

 

Some of these include-- claiming there is no national standard for using
force while trying to throw out Graham v Connor, ignoring SCOTUS rulings
like United States v Whren to attack pro-active policing, or protesting the
release of positive body-worn camera footage.

 

Wait. What? I thought the whole point of footage from body-worn cameras
was to produce needed evidence and to make it publicly available.

 

No, it was to jam up cops and put them in jail. When the body cam
footage started exonerating cops and exposing the lies, false complaints
and general assholery of the criminals far more often than it ever shows
police misbehavior, the grievance groups did a complete 180 and now
routinely oppose the release of body cam footage.

 
Speaking as a taxpayer, I'd prefer that cops have evidence that they
didn't commit an $18 million tort, and that the bad guys were lying.
