These are the original issues in this subcategory
- POLICE TRAINING
- RACIAL PROFILING
- POLICE MISCONDUCT
Many believe any discussion of police misconduct must first begin with acknowledging the degree of difficulty of this profession, and the exemplary nature and heroic sacrifices demonstrated by the vast majority of our nation
- I oppose reforming current police misconduct policy and wish to donate resources to the campaign committee of Leader Charles Schumer (NY).
- I support facilitating federal enforcement of constitutional violations (e.g., excessive use of force) by state and local law enforcement by:
1.) Lowering the criminal intent standard from “willful” to “knowing” or “reckless” to convict a law enforcement officer for misconduct.
2.) Limiting Qualified Immunity as a defense in a trial against a law enforcement officer or state correctional officer.
3.) Issuing subpoenas in investigations of police departments for a pattern of discrimination.
4.) Creating a national registry, the National Police Misconduct Registry, to compile data on complaints and records of police misconduct.
5.) Establishing a framework to prohibit racial profiling at the federal, state, and local levels.
6.) Establishing new requirements for law enforcement officers and agencies to report data on use-of-force incidents, to obtain training on implicit bias and racial profiling, and to wear body cameras.
And wish to donate resources to the campaign committee of either Leader Charles Schumer (NY) and/or Rep. Karen Bass (CA), and/or to an advocate group currently working with this issue.
