    ing . WC in full . Discuss anything but the topic.
    BTW, I'll throw in w/Fuzzy. How or why are these special clauses warranted?
    It's OK when you do it though?

    Let me ask you this. Do you think the protections afforded to police in the OP should be removed?

    Law enforcement officers, except when on duty or acting in an official capacity, have the right to engage in political activity or run for elective office.

    Law enforcement officers shall, if disciplinary action is expected, be notified of the investigation, the nature of the alleged violation, and be notified of the outcome of the investigation and the recommendations made to superiors by the investigators.

    Questioning of a law enforcement officer should be conducted for a reasonable length of time and preferably while the officer is on duty unless exigent cir stances apply.

    Questioning of the law enforcement officer should take place at the offices of those conducting the investigation or at the place where the officer reports to work, unless the officer consents to another location.

    Law enforcement officers will be questioned by a single investigator, and he or she shall be informed of the name, rank, and command of the officer conducting the investigation.

    Law enforcement officers under investigation are en led to have counsel or any other individual of their choice present at the interrogation.

    Law enforcement officers cannot be threatened, harassed, or promised rewards to induce the answering of any question.

    Law enforcement officers are en led to a hearing, with notification in advance of the date, access to transcripts, and other relevant do ents and evidence generated by the hearing and to representation by counsel or another non-attorney representative at the hearing.

    Law enforcement officers shall have the opportunity to comment in writing on any adverse materials placed in his or her personnel file.

    Law enforcement officers cannot be subject to retaliation for the exercise of these or any other rights under Federal, State, or local law.
    Do you take issue with any of those workplace protections?

    Now I am one who dislikes most of what unions get agreed to. However, unions do many good things as well. Now maybe I missed an angle on one of these protections, but I don't see how it protects a police officer from abusing their power.

    It appears to me to be primarily a list given to officers about their workplace protections already guaranteed by existing law. So they know their rights.

    police protection isn't an issue of race. there is equal opportunity for other races to become police officers
    That is besides the point I am making.

    Well, I just went through the les of all 134 Public Laws that would have been signed in 1974 by Nixon. Nothing by le matches even close.

    Fuzzy, can you admit a mistake for once?
    Sure

    that's fair. either way the special limits on investigations and prosecutions need to go.

    The DoJ could sue states under equal protection. Civil rights shouldn't be an issue of race.
    I think you mistake my complete lack of respect for you with an inability to admit fault.

    Those aren't workplace protections. That is a limit to an investigation that they themselves do not have to honor in their own investigations. You think a DA or state police limits how and where they can interview suspects like that? Do you think they as a matter of course alert the suspect as to the particulars of the investigation? You think the DA limits their investigation of suspects to working hours?

    You are so willfully stupid it's unbelievable.

    The police do not need nor should they be afforded supra legal protections. They law average joes live under should suffice.

    I just pointed out several examples of rights to a limited investigation that the rest of society does not enjoy. I noticed you ignored it.

    If you cannot figure out how that protects misconduct relative to the rest of society that is pretty sad.

    This has no basis in the discussion at hand but I will play along a little bit.

    I live in a very libertarian county and that suits me just fine. The political action I am talking about is on the state and federal level. No one has run on these issues in the GOP primary since I have lived here.

    I make an effort to identify people who campaign on these issues like McCain and Warren who if they ran for president I would vote for and actively support. I do write freshman elects when there are ones. Outside of that there has not been anyone in my cons uency worth support.
    Thanks for the straight answer, it wasn't a trick question or anything. I don't think it is entirely off topic to ask someone what they intend to do to effect change that they believe is important.

    What the Police Bill of Rights does is akin to closed shop laws when it forces any investigation to report it to the suspect. IOW, if you are an law enforcement agency concerned about the behavior of another and want to investigate you have to tip them off so they can close ranks on you. Thin blue line GO COP UNION!

    People that style themselves as conservative that are not cops and don't call for action confuse me. "The man who does not do his own thinking is a slave, and is a traitor to himself and to his fellow-men." -George Ingersoll

    He repeated it continually throughout the choke. It was ruled a homicide and the only way past that is to build a self defense case. What you want to bet said self defense case went uncrossed to the grand jury to prevent an indictment?

    I'm sorry you believe that.

    How would a rule change keep someone from breaking rules? IA can still intervene, and those changes wouldn't affect a Grand Jury decision.

    Let me make something clear. I hate how law enforcement abuses their power.

    First off, this officer will face a NYPD investigation. The protections in the OP will apply to this.

    Again, the Grand jury, idiotically determined not to bring this case to trial. The protections did not apply to this.

    I want to see police officers ousted and jailed for their actions when warranted, and I think these officers that chocked the man should have gone to trial and jailed. I do hope they are fired when the investigation is complete.

    Well I answered the other question from that post. Sorry if it was not in the manner you wanted and made you mad. You need to do a better job if you want to lead me in a narrative.

    How about: I never saw him release the chokehold despite the victim's pleas.

    I imagine that isn't the narrative you want me to say either. Keep trying.

    i'm not mad. your attempts to be coy and dodge questions is amusing though

    well this one answers my question. however, i would advise you watch the video again so this mistake of yours can be corrected

    I imagine that isn't the narrative you want me to say either. Keep trying.
    there's no narrative i'm looking for. i watched the video and saw everything there, including a choke. i suggest you watch the video in full so you can have a more accurate assessment of the events though

    I asked you what question. You asked several and then complain when I answer the one that I had not in fact answered.

    You are trying to lead me into your argument and I am not going to do it. There is nothing coy about that.

    If you have a time stamp of the video you think is important then say so. I watched the video I saw the takedown and the guy still choking as the cop obstructs the camera shot and shuttles them away. I saw the seizure. I saw them trying to talk to him and accusing him of playing possum. I saw that EMT arrive and take his vitals etc.

    What you are being coy about is your supposed hidden revelation in the video. That is being coy. You should go meet some scientologists. They do the same the same way. Creepy ers.
