The Board of Aldermen of a Mississippi town voted nearly unanimously to reinstate a police officer who shot an 11-year-old boy inside his own home earlier this year, the officer’s attorney told CNN.
I’ve said it before and I will say it again: Any cop who kills someone, justified or not, should lose their job as a police officer permanently. It’s extreme, I know. But so is killing someone. Taking a life should be the last resort. Shooting should only be the option when there are no other options.
Cops should have to carry malpractice insurance like doctors. That way citizens don’t have to pay out when they hurt someone, and they can be labeled uninsurable if they’re too much of an asshole.
That’s a very capitalistic or even libertarian view - i don’t like it but what horrifies me is that in the current US political climate it sounds more feasible than making the police, you know… Not kill people (sigh)

Americans won’t solve a problem unless they can create an entire new rent-seeking industry out of it.

Fucking wild.
If a chef stabs a guy, there’s a 99% chance we will never see that chef cook professionally again.
This is so stupid.
