Nobody listens to little ole' me, we often say at times like this. Hey, I do have the answer to all the police violence. Yes, I honestly believe if we just did this, police violence would take a dive.
Fire them. Fire the bad cops -- before they do their damage. And, train the rest that police violence is wrong.
Those things can be done.
What if we were to interview every officer in America? Ask them if they believe black lives matter. If they can't say black lives matter, yes, they ought to be fired. There is nothing wrong with the sentiment that black lives matter. And, if you can't say it, there's danger you have a racist attitude.
Derek Chauvin had been a security officer. He didn't like working where a lot of African Americans were, though. And, when he did, he would mace them if the slightest problem came up and call the police on the slightest provocation. He wasn't like that for events where African Americans were not dominant.
If we had background checked him -- if we had did much checking at all -- that would have come up. Such officers need to be dismissed from the force.
Talk to their fellow officers. Talk to their family and friends. Find out what attitudes they have. Should someone be shot if they enter your property, no provocation other than that they are there? Find out what their inclinations are and whether they would pull a trigger either too quickly, or because of race.
It usually isn't hard to notice someone with racist tendencies. So, identify them, and fire them.
