the problem is police are not held accountable for their ignorance of the laws they are hired to enforce.
they need to be prosecuted for their ignorance. dont like it? dont be a police officer.
I don’t know if this is ignorance, it could just be a lie so they don’t have to face more scrutiny.

Yup they just don’t want to be on video destroying people’s lives. They know this is wrong. They feel shame, but they’re doing it anyways. So the last thing they want is video evidence they were ever this cruel.
They absolutely do not feel shame. They just don’t want to be caught
Why would they care if it weren’t for shame?
Consequences. Because once you understand that for profit housing is the root cause of homelessness and not some vague unwillingness to live indoors then homeless people are victims not criminals. And if we ever get this country to actually be worker centric instead of owner centric we’re going to look at those videos and identify the people willing to punch down on victims. They don’t want that, and they especially don’t want people seeing them haul senior citizens off to prison because they didn’t comply with the destruction of everything that won’t fit into a duffel bag.
What consequences are there really for officers from the USA?
None right now. They’re worried about the future.
How are these sweeps allowed if there are no laws on the books not allowing the public camping?
The Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, is evicting any homeless on state land and heavily pressuring the cities to evict anyone on city land. He’s threatening their state funding if they don’t do it.
There aren’t enough shelter beds though. This is possible because of trespassing laws and the recent SCOTUS decision wiping out a lower court order saying they needed more beds before they could do it.
We’re going to have concentration camps in this country and it will be the homeless. That way we can keep blaming them for capitalism exploiting them right out of their homes. While we force them to work.
seriously. Are shelter beds more expensive than prison beds? This makes no sense.
Less profitable. Which is what conservatives are trying to change by stigmatizing the homeless. Force them into shelters, force them into jobs. Anyone who resists goes into the prison system.
The personality disorder that leads people to be cops ought to be a disqualifying trait. I don’t really know how we would get appropriate people. The job itself probably creates some of the personality disorder- repeatedly seeing horrible crime scenes is probably traumatic and encountering awful people might create prejudices. It’s also bad that some departments disqualify candidates if their IQ is too high.
You seem to think there is any will to change anything. There isn’t, the system is already working exactly as intended.
i don’t know the context of this post but i find the headline to be insulting and the comparison within unacceptable.
dogs are loyal and innocent creatures. they are famously the species with which ours has bonded closest. why denigrate them woth parallels to pigs such as police officers?
Pigs are also a bad comparison. The only acceptable comparison is Bulls. Stupid, Impulsive and irrationally angry
Chimps might be close. Violent, impulsive, monsters prone to rape and ruining the lives of those they hate while being fiercely loyal to their tribe. Unfortunately it has a negative racial connotation and they’re a bit too smart to be compared with cops.
