People have been saying that for ages. But their union is too strong and have resisted efforts to do that.

SIRTee15:

I think police officers should be forced to have indemnity just like doctors. When u know a percentage of your salary could be used to settle liability due to your own recklessness, I'm sure they will behave.
American police officers are power drunk. They behave like a mafia boss n not civil servants. They have this arrogant attitude their actions are sacrosanct n shouldn't be questioned by the masses.
There should also be a national register for police officers. Once u are dismissed by any police dept anywhere in the country, ur name is struck off the national register n can never work as a police officer elsewhere.

Go, let a police officer in nigeria hold your neck and choke you to death so you can be useful to your family too. Ori e ti daru!

It seems everything broken in that country cannot be fixed because of some powerful lobbies, union or caucus.
America is in a gradual decline because of some powerful 1% while the remaining 99% look helpless.
Its a pity because despite all it's flaws, America is still the most preferred superpower by most people.

This is a system that works
End sars own wey people die like fowl for here their kangaroo panel wey them set up Wetin happen?

Some citizens are even denying it, so you can see our case is quite special.

Sidenote: Most 'OBJECTIVE' Nairalanders want a concrete and strong evidence like what type of guns was used, the number of bullets fired, the pictorial evidence of people going down (if possible, a life video but not from DJ Switch), what direction the bullets went to and so on.

Anyway, we go get better when we ready as a nation

My only concern is that the police officers will be wrongfully convicted by a corrupt democrat controlled court, because of too much political inteference by the presidency and democrat in the case and also pressure from the media and the woke mob.
I am afriad that joe biden will want to used this case to score a political point. I am afraid the officers might not get justice and fairness out of this trial.
Democracy is gradually dying in america, and it is great to watch

they are all likely to walk free. it's just their jobs they might lose

As u rightly point out the key word is 9 MINUTE, that is excessive time to pin down an individual and that is where negligence and common sense comes in, infact that is where the case will be judge.
As for black vs police, i thing the problem is deeply rooted. Statistic show that black make up about 19% in population but are responsible for for about 60% of crime rate, this is due to economic social and racial inequality, broken family, drugs etc so they wil continue to have confrontation with the law, except you ban police which wil lead to more crime.

Yes racism exist in america, BUT it is not institutiönalized like what the media says. Racism is the thing of the mind which can be manifested.. Infact we are all racist in nature.
As for the use of chokehold, i think the önly remedy here is to amend the constitution & profer a better alternative solution
well.... you have spoken well and I'm beginning to see reasons with your judgement, but at this point the cop just have to be the sacrificial lamb for the uprising...

Here they come again spewing rubbish......let's have someone kneel on your neck for 5 mins and let's see if your skinny bones won't snap

I like engaging someone in some intelligent discussions.A back and forth

According to Michigan Police Department kneeling on a subjects neck is reserved for someone actively resisting apprehension.Maybe you did know that guideline because CNN never said it
anyways

How long does the MPD guidelines say you should kneel on a criminals neck in order to fully subdue him?
