My prediction is this will stay roughly the same until a major event involving someone killing or grievously wounding a cop, claiming self defense (or defense of others) , and being acquitted of any major charges. And I don't mean a no knock warrant situation where a good ole boy shoots at "intruders" just busting down the wrong door. I mean like a George Floyd case or a Daniel Shaver case. Something with a ridiculously over aggressive cop starting shit and losing.
There was an incident years ago where police carried out a no-knock raid at the wrong house and killed a baby with a flashbang grenade and they suffered no consequences that I can recall.
Yeah not even that will deter them. Only way this changes for the good is if majority of progressive take charge of the government and they pass a law forcing cops to carry liability insurance then you will drastic changes.
And settlements need to come out of the Police Union's pocket and not be covered by taxpayers.
I like it lets get it done.
Wasn't that in Detroit where they threw it in the kid's crib? And also while being filmed for a reality TV show? Edit: I was a little wrong on the details, in fact, she was flashbanged first and then shot. Wiki
I don't remember anything about a reality TV show, but yes, the flashbang landed in the crib.
You realise this has already happened? Plainclothes officers attempted to arrest someone without identifying themselves, one was shot and it was ruled as self-defence.
Police get killed all the time, and nothing happens. I'm not exactly sure why you think this specific situation, that has already happened, will suddenly change things.
