True, but part of the issue is that DAs are utterly dependant on cops to do their jobs, and have to work closely with them, so it's much easier said than done to be a "tough on cops" DA.This is gonna be unpopular but here we go.
The problem with cops is not cops.
The problem with cops is that District Attorneys let them get away with murder.
Anytime you have an armed force of authority, there will be people in that force that abuse that authority. There's no way around it; it's going to happen period.
We don't need more laws (it's already illegal for a cop to shoot an unarmed person in the back as they flee).
We don't need better politicians (lmao).
We need the people whose fukking job it is to hold them accountable to start holding them accountable.
If there were consequences for their actions, these a$$hole motherfukkers would actually think twice about black lives, rather than just pulling a trigger and then hiding behind a badge.
