Next thing y'all will be saying Breonna Taylor and Daniel Shaver deserved what they got and the police didn't do anything wrong there. My wild take is that most police are good, but we do have a problem where bad ones aren't held accountable to the standards they should be. End qualified immunity, end civil asset forfeiture, keep the budgets the same but put more money into training and less into military gear.

She lived with a drug dealer, what did she expect?

She probably didn't them to shoot up everything but the actual target. They did a piss poor job handling their weapons. And what kind of drugs and quantities are we talking about here that justify a no knock raid?

Yup. This is a great point. It's a huge disservice to the many cops who are upholding professional standards and acting according to the Constitution to allow terrible cops to continue working. It stains the whole profession and probably makes it a lot harder for the good cops to do their jobs. Granted, I think these good police should speak up and say as much, but I understand there could be significant institutional pressure on them. The "ACAB" people aren't helping either.
