With a rising social awareness of police crimes I will be shifting some focus onto them and their brutality, But more specifically a solution to their madness. I will be comparing the difference between accountability and militarization.
The Stop Militarizing Law Enforcement Act, spearheaded by Georgia Rep. Hank Johnson is a proposal that will cripple our nations ability to fight domestic terrorism. Being well armed does not make you a murder. While the growing concern for police behavior and this proposal seem to go hand in hand, they are unrelated.
What congress should be looking into is a police accountability act. We need to find an effective way to hold the police accountable for their crimes against the people through non-violent means. Police are losing the respect they once had in this country because of their actions and if we do not restore this respect future generations of police. Below is a list of link detailing the Bill and police crimes. Remember to check out CopBlock to learn how to make a difference.
