(26,581 posts)should be removed from society. The entire Aurora PD should be dissolved, and rebuilt from the ground up on an entirely different basis, and NO police unions.
I don't see anything positive in having gangs of armed, fascist psychopaths prowling the streets.

Auroro PD they just don't give a fuck

(30,811 posts)Even if you allow a mixup in which they had reason to think it was stolen, does this kind of response make any sense at all?
What about having all the people emerge from the car and talk it over while running checks, etc, like civilized people? Even that would be scary for the kids, but nothing like being forced to the ground under gunpoint and handcuffed.

(6,148 posts)If the force was 'defunded", maybe the bad apples would have to be laid off.

(30,811 posts)No training of encrusted, violent racists will help that.
So many things need to happen. Start with "defunding the police", meaning have other agencies deal with many of the tasks that are now responded to with guns and threats and cruelty. Weed out some of the 'bad cops' and promote those who buy into a community policing philosophy. Suspend anyone - without pay - who 'forgets' to wear his body cam. Hire new people and train them to tear down the blue wall and be a part of the community that they serve.
And so on.

(367 posts)Why don't the police wear masks. Only one officer had a mask and was not wearing that properly!!! I had a police officer approach my wife and I without a mask on, I told him to back off as my wife and I are both high risk for the Covid 19!!! What the hell is the matter with cops and not wearing masks!!!

(26,069 posts)Imagine them all excited about having this grown up treat, then this.
The same PD that choked to death a young man who played his violin for rescue kitties. The same PD that arrested the Aurora Massacre shooter with no incident. The latter was white. Big fucking surprise.
Burn this PD system to the ground, salt the earth, and rebuild from the non-tainted ground up.

(30,811 posts)How these cops can 'just do their job' and terrorize a small child is beyond me.

(10,168 posts)my mom instincts went off the charts. I can't say what I want to do to those cops, I don't give a shit what their excuse is. They wouldn't have done that to a white woman in a Volvo wagon, even if she clearly WAS the perp, the racist, low IQ fuckers! I'm so sick of all of this. It has to be eradicated in a meaningful and effective way.
No more white racist thugs on the police forces...anywhere! We have to weed them out.
Crunchy Frog
(26,581 posts)Probably because I have two sons about the same age, and was imagining them in that situation.
He was crying and obviously terrified. They had his hands fastened behind his back too. Pure monsters.
