After that cop in Arizona was acquitted after shooting an unarmed nearly-naked man crawling and crying not to be shot, I became convinced it was straight-up impossible to ever convict a cop for murder.

It's rare but it does happen. Cop's body cam and that of his partner did him in, plus the partner testified against him in court.

Well, yeah, that's the second problem, right? Even when you get a conviction they never get equal number of years as a non-cop would for the same crime.

EDIT

By the by, Real Sports on HBO did a feature story on this shooting complete with bodycam footage and that broke me in loving two. There's footage from the dash cam of the car they locked his brother in the back of when they pulled the car over and they show you his dead little brother being stretchered out of the kids' car with the brother sobbing in the background...it's loving heart rending. That cop shouldn't breathe free air again for cold hearted poo poo like that. That's what my vindictive side says, anyway.

I don't think that's vindictive, I think that cops should be subject to higher sentences when they are found guilty of killing or injuring someone outside of self-defense/public safety. They are put in a position of heightened responsibility, the legal repercussions of abusing that or misjudging a situation should reflect that. People should be terrified of being a cop, not for the reason of someone shooting you, but because if you shoot someone for the wrong reason, you'll end up in jail for the rest of your life.

Yeah it's a huge problem. People seem to use him being cop as mitigating force in sentencing, when it should be an aggravating one. If you're committing crimes, especially when you're on duty, you're betraying the trust the community has placed in you. Sending a message to other cops that the legal system won't tolerate that poo poo would go a huge way into solving this problem.

quote:

Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil’s right-wing president, visited President Trump in the White House on Tuesday and followed up his official business with a Christian Broadcasting Network interview and meeting with conservative religious leaders, including CBN’s Pat and Gordon Robertson.

CBN noted that Bolsonaro “has surrounded himself with well-known Brazilian evangelicals,” including influential pastor Silas Milafaia, who told CBN he believes Bolsonaro is God’s chosen man to lead Brazil. He praised Bolsonaro for opposing abortion and the “privilege” of the LGBT movement.

CBN’s Thomas asked Bolsonaro about the impact that “decades of leftist ideology has had on the social and spiritual fabric of Brazil.” Bolsonaro responded that the ideology of the left has taken over universities and journalism and eroded family values

Yeah, I tend to agree.

I guess in general I was trying to get ahead of any "Whoa, I thought liberals thought sentences were generally too long for the crime committed!" arguments. Murder while "serving and protecting" is a pretty serious crime though.

The only way we're going to get any police reform is if we start putting a cap on how many innocent people the police can kill before they're subject to the laws as a civilian. Maybe start at like 10 innocent deaths per cop?

My own satirical and/or misguided solution would make federal police force that only enforces standards, judicial complaints, civil issues, etc. involving the local and state police. Basically, cops enfocing the law against other cops.

Then give them an annual quota of cases against police to fulfill.
