What can be done about dangerous cops in this country?

As many of you may have heard, the guy who shot Breonna Taylor and was fired, was just hired at the Sherriff's office in another county in Kentucky.

This happens constantly - some cop kills someone with no justification, maybe gets fired, and then gets rehired at another precinct where they can kill people again.

I just don't know how we even tackle this issue. I think cops should be required to have liability insurance, but I don't see that passing.

Fox's Settlement with Dominion is tax deductible

Apparently this is normal, I'm just rather surprised you can deduct a defamation settlement from your taxes...

Shouldn't the DoJ be suing red states for Constitutional violations?

We're seeing red states go crazy with laws that blatantly violate the Constitution, especially the 1st Amendment. Drag show/pride parades banned and transgender kids kidnapped in Florida, Texas requiring schools to have Bible study and 10 commandments, etc.

Isn't the Executive branch supposed to go after states that violate the Constitution? I've seen no attempts to hold these red states accountable.

Texas is now a Christian theocracy with its own Sharia-style laws

Public schools would have to display Ten Commandments under bill passed by Texas Senate

The Senate also passed a bill that would set prayer and Bible reading times during the school day.

As a Jew, a couple things to keep in mind. The 10 Commandments they're requiring to be displayed are the KJV translation, which is not quite the same as the Hebrew version. You obviously don't see these idiots putting up the real 10 Commandments.

Also, one of the commandments forbids work on the Sabbath. All Christians violate that Commandment. Also it prohibits idolatry. All Trump supporters violate that commandment since they exalt Trump to divine status.
