Pay more, recruit harder, require more education and something along the lines of the US citizenship test, give lots of psychological tests, do thorough background check, require references from non-relatives, train for 2 years. They can fix this if they want to, but they don't want to.
Yesterday while reading at a UK site I noticed that The Queen's English spells that "behoves." I would have thought that they would have used "behouves."
did most of the decent cops in denver shun these cops? did they try to stop them from killing this kid? did they go to their chief and say "these cops are giving us all a bad name, you should fire them, because I refuse to work with them"? did they say, "I can't be a member of a union that tries to protect cops that kill kids"? did they say, "I'd be happy to testify against them and tell the stories of all the other times these cops did something terrible"? did they approach the people protesting this murder with the understanding of how frustrated they felt or did they show up in riot gear and crack skulls? did they tell the cops who sent the pictures how disgusted they were with them? once that happens I'll start believing that "all cops are not..." until then I'm gonna need a tiny shred of evidence that they're not.
so two cops with guns and nightsticks and two paramedics couldn't control this 1 skinny kid who was handcuffed behind his back so it was necessary to give him ketamine?
I see you're putting all kinds of demands on me personally, that you would not shoulder yourself OR expect of the DtP crowd in Washington.
The reason for that, you ignorant little skidmark, is that as a general rule people who criticize A Thing should generally propose alternatives to The Thing. That's the secondary reason neither you nor I are in a position to "expect" fuck all from "the DtP crowd in Washington.". The primamry reason, of course, is that neither you nor I are black so it would behoove both of us to sit down and shut up. The only reason I've been non-commenting so emphatically is that I've been hoping you would do just that.
Wow, this took way too long. Anyone who heard the recording of that poor boy begging for his life knows that these cops committed cold blooded murder. Just like Derek Chauvin.
B-b-b-but are bu$$ine$$ not people who have the freedom to act as they see fit?

If most cops were decent people we wouldn't have a system that works so hard to protect bad cops.
Sure, they may be decent parents, aunts, sons or daughters. They may even be decent neighbors. But they are not decent people.

Shhh, don't tell anyone! This is good news for a civil society that appreciates science and the humanities.
ETA: le sigh. For once, I was hoping there would be math.

"Do you know why I pulled you over?"
"Because you had a C average in high school?"
Me too…
