    So is better cameras on police officers now an anti-police thing?

    There was a hit and run in front of my house two and half hours ago. 911 was called. No one was injured. Cops still haven't shown up.

    I live in the CITY LIMITS.

    Why did you call the cops? That’s a minor non violent offense. Police will only shoot the suspect instead of give him a ticket

    The ones in his patrol car might be drop guns. Shoot somebody who was unarmed? Plant a spare pistol on them.

    Copped from today's Politico Playbook:


    MOVEMENT ON POLICE REFORM — “Police-Overhaul Efforts Draws Bipartisan Agreement on Key Issues,” WSJ: “Democratic and Republican staff in Congress are drafting language for possible police-overhaul legislation that would limit the transfer of some military equipment to local departments, ban police use of chokeholds except in life-threatening situations and set federal standards for so-called no-knock warrants, according to people familiar with the talks. …

    “The congressional effort is being led by Sen. TIM SCOTT (R-S.C.), who sponsored a GOP bill, and Rep. KAREN BASS (D-Calif.), who sponsored a Democratic bill, as well as Sen. CORY BOOKER (D-N.J.). They, along with Sens. LINDSEY GRAHAM (R-S.C.) and DICK DURBIN (D-Ill.) and Reps. JOSH GOTTHEIMER (D-N.J.), BRIAN PITZPATRICK (R-Pa.) and PETE SAUBER (R-Minn.), are seeking to find compromise legislation that can pass both chambers.”

    Another angle to this: “Democrats’ biggest test on police reform: Delivering a deal that pleases activists,” by Maya King, Nicholas Wu and Marianne LeVine
