Executive branch doesn't pass laws, so that's a non-starter. There was no point at which the administration had any chance of removing those legal protections.
I think a lot more needs to be done to hold police responsible. I'm unsure of what exactly the executive branch of the federal government can do. Right there the biggest problems are state prosecutors and juries. There needs to be an entire sea change in how cops are perceived by the public before we can deal with those issues.
Mandatory retraining is definitely the direction we need to go, but again that takes enormous change from the public first. If the departments don't buy into it, it won't work. Like I already told you, Obama put more departments under investigation than any president in history, and when they got enough dirt on a department they were able to force them to change. But that only works if you can prove a consistent pattern of misconduct, and even then the measures don't get enforced unless the department actually buys into reform. In some cases it has helped, in others it has not.
How do you have the slightest clue what any of us have or haven't experienced? I spent most of my young adult years in Inglewood and South LA, you think I haven't been subject to stuff?
I don't believe that democrats are "all about ending police brutality."
I believe that we need to support the ones that are and stop voting for the ones that aren't.
I don't believe Obama did enough, not enough to get my vote the 2nd time around, but I also believe it's incorrect to say he did nothing.
