    He really is like a bad guy in a comic book movie. Freeing criminals, recruiting corrupt police, spreading fear and hatred. The beginning of a movie where the place is in criminal chaos.

      Removing authority complicates trust. I can definitely imagine a group in West Virginia or wherever giving themselves an overly patriotic name and claiming there have been next to no instances of police violence because they nitpick what should be counted. They already started doing this with school shootings.

      If you read the article, it says this is for federal law enforcement roles. States typically do not have that information since these people don’t work for the state.

      Also, many of these internal affairs investigations do not hit the press, which makes a private effort pretty difficult to pull off. Your net will have a lot of big holes.

        Since you must know a lot about this subject from your comment, you must also then know that any complaints resulting from federal law enforcement officer actions must also be filed and reported with the local jurisdiction where the complaint originated. Also a federal law.

        This is under the purview of the DOJ at the federal level, but every state has their own codified rules on making this public. The 12 largest states have open reporting, with mostly southern states making this confidential.

    Because of course he did…

    Wouldn’t want to be holding LEO’s to account for any violations of civil rights or any of that soy-boy kind of thing, right?

    “When you’re putting them in the car, maybe remove the hand”… yeah?

    Yet another reminder, the cruelty is the point.

    🤦‍♀️ 🙄 🤡 🖕 🖕

    We really need a public database of cops along with links to articles of their actions. Similar to the website created to track J6 rioters and their sentences.
