http://connecticut.news12.com/story/42425863/connecticut-senate-approves-police-accountability-bill-in-2115-vote

Immediately:
  • Easier to professionally decertify cops for excessive force or racial profiling
  • Towns can create Civilian Review Boards with subpoena power
  • State Department of Criminal Justice begins creating new, independent Inspector General office to prosecute excessive force claims
January 2021:
  • Mandatory behavioral health assessments for officers every five years
April 2021:
  • "Duty to Intervene" law begins, which requires an officer to either stop or attempt to stop another sworn employee when force is being inappropriately applied
  • Ban on chokeholds begins, except in life-or-death situations
July 2021:
  • Officers Qualified Immunity is reduced. This is the most controversial change. Citizens will be able sue individual police officers. But the officer only pays legal bills if they're guilty of an egregious violation.
July 2022:
  • All officers must have body cameras and dashboard cameras in their patrol cars. The extra time gives police departments time to purchase the equipment. The state will help for it

Do you think anything would have changed if no one protested after George Floyd's death? This is the will of the people in action.

As soon as this law started coming out, I started receiving text messages, phone calls from some of our officers going, 'I guess its time to leave,'" says Engstrand.

They want zero accountability.

Why are people so concerned about this. Most departments dont have any. If they do its probably one. And used by their SWAT which is an essential item. Which is mostly used for traveling purposes into dangerous situations.

do you know how expensive cameras are? Id be willing to bet an apc wouldnt even pay for half of a departments cameras. Youre talking regular body cameras, battery pack, dash cams, charging docks, storage space online. This is probably a multi millionaire dollar expense

Zero tolerance policies should also be applied to cops. Any slip up and they're fired without any severance packages or pensions.

They're in positions where they cannot and should not screw up.

CT isn't TX or one of the shitty southern states that is particularly guilty about having military shit.

I mean you still need a swat team. An apc is just a vehicle. Its not killing people, its not shooting people

What i mean is, you never ever see cops here with assault rifles/tacticool shit/humvees/military stuff like you see in bullshit states in more red states.

Im guessing youve never done any research into SWAT usage and the fact most of time SWAT is unnecessary.

Thats how you have no cops at all. Humans are imperfect and expecting perfection is not reasonable.

Zero tolerance for certain things sure.

Also how does it take 2 years to purchase something?

For a job like police, the level of responsibility and authority required means I'm perfectly happy not to let the usual high school dropout join up because he had no other options. It should be a good class of person, with intelligence and empathy who won't constantly try to take the lazy and easy way out.

There should be quality over quantity. 1 cop who talks down and calms a person having a breakdown is worth more than the 10 cops who would riddle that person with bullets.

They're military surplus because the military doesn't want them. Congress keeps buying them because corruption is legal.

I mean it's where all the muh guns live, so it's kinda justified. Did you know there's steel core penetrator ammo for 5.56? They have green tips to identify themselves from regular ball ammo.

Eh, you're not missing much. Kinda just for pest control since it all fragments anyways. Regular stuff is just as good.
