Again, this is taken directly from BLM's website:



Police unions have used their influence to establish unfair protections for police officers in their contracts with local, state and federal government and in statewide Law Enforcement Officers' Bills of Rights. These provisions create one set of rules for police and another for civilians, and make it difficult for Police Chiefs or civilian oversight structures to punish police officers who are unfit to serve.

POLICY SOLUTIONS

Remove barriers to effective misconduct investigations and civilian oversight

Remove contract provisions, local policies, and provisions in state Law Enforcement Officers' Bills of Rights laws that:

• allow officers to wait 48 hours or more before being interrogated after an incident
  
  
• prevent investigators from pursuing other cases of misconduct revealed during an investigation
  
  
• prevent an officer's name or picture from being released to the public
  
  
• prohibit civilians from having the power to discipline, subpoena or interrogate police officers
  
  
• state that the Police Chief has the sole authority to discipline police officers
  
  
• enable officers to appeal a disciplinary decision to a hearing board of other police officers
  
  
• enable officers to use the contract grievance process to have an outside arbitrator reverse disciplinary decisions and reinstate officers who have committed misconduct
  
  
• prevent an officer from being investigated for an incident that happened 100 or more days prior
  
  
• allow an officer to choose not to take a lie detector test without being punished, require the civilian who is accusing that officer of misconduct to pass a lie detector first, or prevent the officer's test results from being considered as evidence of misconduct
  

Keep officers' disciplinary history accessible to police departments and the public

Remove contract provisions, local and state policies, and provisions in state Law Enforcement Officers' Bills of Rights laws that allow police officers to:

• expunge or destroy records of past misconduct (both sustained and unsustained) from their disciplinary file
  
  
• prevent their disciplinary records from being released to the public via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request
  

Ensure financial accountability for officers and police departments that kill or seriously injure civilians

Remove contract provisions, local policies, and provisions in state Law Enforcement Officers' Bills of Rights laws that:

• require officers to be given paid administrative leave or paid desk-duty during an investigation following a police shooting or other use of deadly force
  
  
• prevent officers from receiving unpaid suspensions as discipline for misconduct or allow officers to use vacation or discretionary time to pay themselves while on suspension
  
  
• allow officers to receive paid leave or paid desk-duty after being charged with a felony offense
  

Campaign Zero reviewed the police union contracts in 81 of the largest U.S. cities. 72 of the 81 cities' contracts imposed at least one barrier to holding police accountable. Learn more at CheckthePolice.org.



HOW POLICE UNION CONTRACTS BLOCK ACCOUNTABILITY

1. Disqualifying misconduct complaints that are submitted too many days after an incident occurs or if an investigation takes too long to complete
   
   
2. Preventing police officers from being interrogated immediately after being involved in an incident or otherwise restricting how, when, or where they can be interrogated
   
   
3. Giving officers access to information that civilians do not get prior to being interrogated
   
   
4. Requiring cities to pay costs related to police misconduct including by giving officers paid leave while under investigation, paying legal fees, and/or the cost of settlements
   
   
5. Preventing information on past misconduct investigations from being recorded or retained in an officer's personnel file
   
   
6. Limiting disciplinary consequences for officers or limiting the capacity of civilian oversight structures and/or the media to hold police accountable.

I'll do that and so will my wife, amigo

 

Black Lives Matter activists finally have an answer to critics demanding specific policy proposals.

This has been a central question posed to the movement, which aims to eliminate racial disparities in the criminal justice system, since it rose to national prominence following the police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. A lot of groups — from supporters to media to Hillary Clinton — have challenged the movement to define its policy agenda.

Funny when a fascist calls someone else a fascist, for doing things that are fully anti fascist.

 

Again, click the site and investigate yourself.

It clearly shows that some of the things they are proposing are or have been tried by cities and the results. These things are continually updated.

There is a lot of good and interesting information there if you want to have an informed discussion.

Some I agree with and some that I don't.

I purposely posted that article from 2015 to show that this is an ongoing discussion.

 

I'm sorry that you don't care. I do find it interesting that you support Woodson's easily disprovable views on BLM and that those views are compelling to you when you refuse to read the messages he is misrepresenting.

Up until today you didn't even know the group that is behind the 1776 Unite when it was displayed on their video.

 

I would say this is a bit more than a mention.

I've already said I'm sure they do good. What I have a problem with is them misrepresenting other groups.

I don't know what this means.

If you're saying that some corporations have donated to BLM then sure.

But corporations also donate to CRC. If that means they "cow tow" then sure.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capit...orted that,more than $265,000 from ExxonMobil.

 

In some aspects, yes. Though I'm not sure you mean obscure.

 

But the rest is history, and every cloud has a silver lining, and don't cry over spilt milk.
