I think that police should only have a shotgun in the trunk of their police cruiser. The dispatcher has to remotely unlock the trunk, and then grant permission to the shotgun. Our law enforcers should be held to a higher standard when it comes to deploying violence, and be fully on the record.
They can have telescopic batons, which also require the remote unlock from dispatch. Again, to ensure that when force is deployed, the state is responsible. An officer who deploys force without permission, should be treated as suspect in a court of law.
Same goes for grenades to need dispatch’s authority. All weapons and cameras should automatically have records sent to federal, state, and civil rights groups.
I really like the remote unlock idea but cops aren’t shooting people with shotguns. If cops were carrying shotguns rather than pistols, I guarantee a lot less shootings would occur.
Well, that is the point. By making it so that they can only have inconvenient ranged firepower that is locked up in the car, they can’t kill people nearly as often nor with ease. The only time they should be using firepower, is with coordination with dispatch and the PD anyways.
It is harder to shoot a black dude in the back, if you don’t have a gun by default.
As we have seen with the protests in Minneapolis and other places, people don’t readily kill enforcers, despite having just cause and the 2nd Amendment. The claims of cops needing a gun at all times is a lie, perpetuated by the oligarchy to protect their interests.
