So, it isn't hard? Can you show me a contract? Magic parchment doesn't count btw.
What happens to those who feel these laws are unjust and simply want to live their lives in peace? Are they just malcontents whose rights don't matter?
A few bad cops and encounters and we live in a police state..or the police are out of control..f the police..etc,etc....yet thousands of muslims committing acts of terror and they are "just a few outliers" who just need empathy and support from the west..
No they are not malcontents. They need to get off their ass and get politically active, work to take their government back and reclaim their power, then change the laws.
You're not seeing the point. What right does one man or any group of men have to rule over others?
The strong survive and the weak perish. That is the law of nature. That is science. The meek inheriting the earth, that's a fairy tale.
There is a good correlation between one group becoming weak (and overly tolerant) and their own demise.
So you have your natural order of things. If it wasn't supposed to be that way nature and the world would be different. Everything functions off of dominating the weak, becoming a parasite, or cowering in fear, to survive.
That is where the natural right to rule others can be derived from, nature.
Ok, Mr. One Track Mind, there is no room for improvement. The police are good. Nothing to see here.
Of course you realize you just summarized government right?
Inclusion and tolerance doesn't equal weak. False assumptions bring false conclusions.
Let me preface this by stating, I do not believe you can fix government with government. But, if I were to set out to improve the police from within the confines of the current system, these are the things I'd do.
1. End the failed war on drugs.
2. End other victimless crime enforcement.
3. End police unions.
4. Set up independent review panels to review every use of force by police that results in harm or death.
5. Establish a zero tolerance policy, if you use unnecessary force, you will be arrested and charged. No more officers with 18-20 accusations of excessive force working a beat.
I feel that would be a good start. Won't happen, but, it's some ideas.

Agree with #3 wholeheartedly.
#4. Who would you get to staff these panels? And furthermore, "results in harm" is pretty vague. Technically, handcuffing is a use of force. And I've seen people rub their wrists raw to try to say "they handcuffed me too tight!" A more specific definition of "harm" would be needed, though I agree in principle.
#5. I can agree to that, but change the wording to "if it's determined by the independent review board excessive force was used..." Accusations are one thing. Actual determination is another.

As to who would staff the panels, I don't know. Maybe everyday citizens, kinda like jury duty?
