What is your opinion on this? "Critics say that the LEOBR makes it impossible to discipline or remove bad officers, such as after they have been convicted of felonies in the courts. Under LEOBR, officers are judged only by other officers. LEOBR prevents the formation of independent review boards that provide independent oversight over police actions."?
Litigation is a huge issue in the #US. Penalties often are astronomical seen from an international perspective. Also, malfeasance by police officers including #RacialProfiling and l, IMO, #PredictivePolicing seem to be much more frequent, maybe just more reported.
However, my bottom line is that
a) #SystemicRacism will never be overcome w/o abolishing #LEOBR|s. Police officers are nothing but citizens in uniform. They're no animals more...
...that they are moving abroad because of (the #Conservative takeover of) the #SupremeCourt. I'm at least as worried about this #PoliceState development.
...their peers or another branch of government. (Impeachment is clearly not working for the Presidential office, the chief reason being the undemocratic #filibuster.)
So, any any special Law Enforcement Officers' Bill of Rights (#LEBOR, #LEOBR, or #LEOBoR) for the police is undemocratic and should be ruled unconstitutional, including contractual means to circumvent this fact.
It's a manifestation of #AnimalFarm.
