Create a bill, sign into law, and set aside funds to require all state,county, and local police, to wear a camera. Due to the latest accounts of deadly encounters with police, We the People, petition for the Mike Brown Law. Create a bill, sign into law, and set aside funds to require all state,county, and local police, to wear a camera.The law shall be made in an effort to not only detour police misconduct(i.e. brutality, profiling, abuse of power), but to ensure that all police are following procedure, and to remove all question, from normally questionable police encounters. As well, as help to hold all parties within a police investigation, accountable for their actions.

I support the substance of the law, but the name needs serious work...it appears so far that the only thing mike brown should have his name on is a tombstone

Summary execution for resisting arrest.

Sure.

Here's an idea - how about we put cameras on the ends of their guns?

Absolutely not. If that is what it was, cop should be convicted.

However, as more info comes out, it appears the officer was justified in the shoot.

You have a monster of a man that has already tried to take your weapon, coming back at you, does not matter if he was armed or not, his size and potential to take the officer's weapon made him deadly.

given the admittedly incomplete set of facts, that is not at all an accurate description of what happened...however, I still think he should undergo the same procedure that a citizen using lethal force has to go through

a panel review where they determine the facts of the case then decide if it goes to trial...however they're handled, the information and details from every one should be made public

You're wasting your time. Tuba is either a true believer or a huge troll (it's hard to tell from topic-to-topic). Either way, he doesn't care about anything other than stirring people up.

He won't be even if that's what it was. The defense will attack the victim.

Not really. As more info comes out, it appears we know less and less.

dehumanize the victim. That's a good defense, too.

There's no evidence he was running towards the cop when he was shot. The kill shot only show that he was facing the officer, not that he was moving towards him. And the only witness that says he went for the gun is the cop.

We take the money that used to be spent arming police with military gear and spend it putting cameras on the end of their guns.


Then when this shite happens again we won't have to debate on which way the victim was running or facing.

I support it...with the caveat that the video is property of THE PUBLIC. No picking and choosing (by Eric with-Holder, et al) which gets held back and which gets released. And no *CRASHED* hard drives! Prompt publication and airing of any pertinent video REQUIRED BY LAW.

the region that pays the police. locals pay for it if its local pd. etc.

you consistently hear from cops that most police brutality claims are BS. if that is true, the reduction in payout should more than pay for it.

Uhm, how about we leave that up to the state and local agencies but the feds can provide grants to poorer states and jurisdictions to help buy them?

That way we avoid the whole pesky issue of federal intervention into a traditionally non-federal area.

Seriously, what is the major malfunction in your brain? Is it just a personality disorder or is there some blockage in the reasoning department that prevents you from drawing measured observations?

Or are you just deliberately pushing false or unknowable narratives with utter disregard of truth in the name of furthering an agenda?

I'm legitimately curious because moronic comments like the one above dumbfound me and are turning me into a supreme cynic when it comes to respecting the opinions of other people and their abilities to think rationally.

Problem: Government police forces are getting too militarized.

Liberal solution: More government.
