Excellent idea, Frank. Accountability and consequences are the key. I hope nobody miscontrued my statement as “anti-law enforcement”. Most of the officers I know take their job very seriously and approach others respectfully. It’s the few bad apples (read cowards) that use the badge (and assorted weapons) to prove how tough they are.

There must be a real consequence in order to keep a bully in check. So, how’s this for an idea? Tasers, spray and similar, may be issued to an officer after proper training and instruction. However, IF that item is used in an unnecessary, bullying and/or overkill manor, the “victim” or their assignee, will be entitled to use the same item against the officer by two, along with a three month unpaid suspension or termination. This would be determined by witnesses, public sentiment as well as officer history and must be made public in both written and video formats.

Fuck those Fucking Fuckers
