You have to admit there is a problem with policing in America.......how did most hockey and baseball teams have Blue Lives Matter patches on their jerseys also?

More cops.  More cops with guns.  More cops in high-crime neighborhoods.  More cops in schools.  Harsher sentences for small-time gang-bangers and drug peddlers.

This seems like it will accomplish the opposite

You think less cops in high crime neighborhoods is a good idea, it's not. The same neighborhoods with the cops vs civilian problems are the same people that call for the cops to come back.

If there is no police, you get George Zimmermans and Amy Coopers.

I wouldn't. In fact, I would give them more opportunities to enforce the law without intervention.

You don't understand that there is a current problem with the way how policing operates.....

On Staten Island, it is suicide not to be a politician and not receive an endorsement from police unions. You can't win on SI without it.

Some areas that produce Max Rose, Eric Vitaliano, Michael McMahon require it.

1. Fire any police officer who kills anyone, anyone, regardless of race, unarmed.

2. Charge the police officer to a maximum death penalty.

3. Prevent police unions from making political endorsements. POLICE WORK FOR ALL AMERICANS, NOT JUST RIGHT LEANING AMERICANS. ACT LIKE IT.

4. Police officers: DROP THE ATTITUDE DURING ENCOUNTERS. You work for the people. Don't have an attitude with a citizen and vice versa with a citizen and a cop.

5. ANY POLICE OFFICER WHO MAKES RACIST/HOMOPHOBIC COMMENTS ON FACEBOOK OR OTHER ONLINE SOCIAL MEDIA SHOULD BE FIRED AND CONTAINED

6. DE-ESCALATION. USE FORCE UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NEEDED. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BRANDISH GUN ON SUSPECT UNLESS NECESSARY

7. AMERICA NEEDS TO REALIZE THAT WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO WITH RACE. WE HAVE OVERCAME, BUT WE HAVE A FAR WAY TO GO

8. POLICE OFFICERS NEED TO REALIZE THEY ARE BAD APPLES AND ROOT IT OUT. KEEP YOUR POLITICAL VIEWS OUT OF MIND AT WORK.

1. Not gonna work

2. These are state cases most states have abolished the death penalty if someone murders a cop they won't get the death penalty but if a cop kills someone they get the death penalty/

3. Suppression of Free Speech & the freedom of association violation of the 1st amendment

4. How would you even enforce this?

5. Freedom of Speech, this could be easily abused to silence dissent. Violation of the 1st amendment, in both the idea of freedom of speech and freedom of association, along with the privileges and immunities clause of the 14th amendment.

6. Again Bronz I'm pretty sure you don't know how the police work, in many police department officers, are required to report when they brandish their sidearm. Instances, where officers brandish their firearm, are much rarer than you're trying to make out.

7. How does this solve anything?

8. Again you can't enforce punishments thought crimes.

What are your solutions?
