A Minneapolis Police Officer posts an article in a local newspaper that implies we only have the excessive deadly-force option for policing, therefore which laws would we like to not have enforced?
Could this be the future of today’s demands for reform and change? Would people be happy and fully support the federal, state or even local governments if they passed laws restricting the police from proactively enforcing low-level misdemeanor crimes committed in an officer’s presence, such as littering or public urination, because the crime does not warrant the possibility of police use of force and possibly death?Community policing is very much the theme of the St Paul police, in the neighboring twin city. Amazing how for so many years, police have been speaking to people about jaywalking, speeding and other minor infractions without death.
The comments get worse, implying that any resistance justifies excessive force. I am hoping that this officer gets huge pushback. So help me by visiting the article and leaving comments. Please get friends to help! Just follow this link!
