    Ive repeated this argument so many times.

    1. They need to have a FEDERAL licence to provide law enforcement. So you cant just move when you get in trouble.

    2. Each officer needs to carry their own “malpractice” insurance so the city/state doesnt have a financial interest in ignoring bad behavior.

    3. Make “Abuse of the public trust” a federal felony. Officer making bad judgement calls in the heat of the moment is one thing but calculated corruption should be a federal offence.

      You know… I’m a big fan of some of the wild lefty stuff OP is posting, but I also endorse all of this! Those are some great ideas.

      Frankly, I don’t hate cops. I don’t like the system (and I’m not a big fan of the individuals who participate in it), but if someone is willing to be agree to operate with this kind of accountability, I’m willing to give them a chance.
