Time for police and their unions to stand up.

 TIME TO PUT POLITICIANS ON NOTICE THAT CONSEQUENCES ARE COMING

MAKE POLITICIANS MAKE THE HARD DECISIONS

The anti-police rhetoric and grandstanding by politicians and the media need a very heavy dose of reality. It is time for the police to give them this reality now! The back benchers and the second guessers need to be put on notice that it is their turn to make hard decisions and put it into writing.

First off, police should now put everyone on notice that in the future they will not physically engage with anyone. That they will no longer be wrestling with anyone except when they are attacked and in self defense. They should also put them on notice that if attacked they will use their service weapon in self defense.The politicians need to give written instruction in how the police are to act in every situation. If suspects resist arrest, what is the procedure that is acceptable? Should the police simply let go of anyone who does not want to be arrested? That seems to be the number one source of controversy. If the police refuse to engage in physical activity with these people, the politicians need to find an acceptable alternative. They need to find the solution.

They may consider that only black police respond to calls involving blacks. Let black officers police black neighborhoods and let white officers police white neighborhoods. Only black officers will be required to respond to incidents involving black suspects. 

It is time for legal action to brought against the media who alter 911 tapes, edit videos or any intentional misinformation that is engaged in to create chaos and violent reactions. This has gone on in the past with the Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and many other cases. They need to be prosecuted for intentionally creating a narrative that results in lose of life and property. The police union should have standing to bring these charges and suits.

The police and their union should give every administration 2 weeks notice that they expect the answers to these questions in writing, or they will stay home until there is a satisfactory agreement. If their union is corrupt and not looking out for the well being of its officers they should be terminated and some new union should be created.

We can no longer expect police to make split second decisions to be reviewed frame by frame by a bunch of no-nothing political operatives and activists who have never been in their position. Time to put them in the position to make all the decisions for the police beforehand in writing or experience the consequences of no police.
