They don't learn...
The right thing at this point would be to screen every cop excessively for 2 weeks by independent people (from outside the US) and fire everyone that doesn't qualify.
And obviously revamp the system how easy you can become a cop.
The Los Angeles Police Commission held an online meeting via livestream during which Angelenos were allowed to ask questions and...yeah you can probably imagine how that went.
Here are some of the more notable quotes.Less than 24 hours after Los Angeles police chief Michel Moore sparked outrage by saying that George Floyd’s blood is on rioters’ hands “as it is on those officers,’” he faced unanimously angry, and often profane criticism from residents at an online meeting of the L.A. Police Commission.
Of the incident that sparked the protests, the death of George Floyd after his arrest by Minneapolis police, Moore said of rioters on Monday, “His death is on their hands, as much as it is on those officers.’” Once Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti retook the podium, he called the chief back up to clarify those comments. “I misspoke when I said his blood was on their hands,” said Moore, “but certainly their actions do not serve the enormity of his loss. After the press conference, as outrage mounted, the chief issued a cascade of new apologies, at least three in the next few hours.
At the police commission meeting on Tuesday, Moore and the commissioners held a livestream ostensibly to discuss “regional unrest.” What they got instead was a flood of venom from outraged residents.
“The LAPD needs to be torn down and rebuilt.”
“You are not fit to lead and you should resign.”
“Your officers don’t see them selves as police officers, they see themselves as an occupying army.”
“I don’t know if you all are racists, honestly it doesn’t matter. You job is to listen to the people and serve the community. it doesn’t matter if you’re a racist. You’re here to serve your community. The way that black and brown communities are being policed tells us you are not serving your communities."
“I’m going to address you like the f*cking child you have been throughout this meeting. You should be f*cking ashamed of yourself. Your words last night were disgusting. Particularly because you knew…You said they were going to be strong before you said them.”
“For those of you [on the police commission] playing with your cell phones during this call, please stop. It’s incredibly disrespectful.”
“I think all of you guys are racist.” He then spoke directly to Moore. “Chief: What is your idea of what black people should do to avoid being killed? Personally, I think black people should start defending themselves.”
“Hey! Executive director! Look up! Chief Moore, you’re smiling? Stop looking at your phones. Commissioner Soboroff, you look like you’re sleeping. Keep your eyes glued to the screen and listen.”
“For you to just sit there — with your face mask, not even looking up — is bullshit. You’re not listening. You’re just adding military force. F*ck you!”
And, the final nail in the coffin for bitches that still don't believe there's systemic bias in law enforcement:
Another woman maintained that “police can operate peacefully.” She cited the Women’s March several years ago downtown, saying the police were not in riot gear, and everything was fine. “But when it comes to Black Lives Matter,” she said, “they come in riot gear. Black people should not be afraid to live.”

you think you could tell me apart based only on skin color if there was a group of 19 white guys with various skin tones and then me?
The best call from that videoconference:

Been floating around for a few days now.
Cop needs to be immediately fired and prosecuted, other officers involved need to be investigated, chief needs to resign, and there needs to be a department-wide investigation of all police incidents, specifically with people of color, over the pate 5+ years.
The only way to make cops stop brazenly assaulting people in front of cameras is to make the subsequent investigations so painful that they're terrified to.
Because we're not gonna get a legal framework that will allow them to be held accountable, especially with how deeply corrupt the police unions are.
I’m white... Slavic White... and a refugee due to religious persecution... and was pushed down a flight of stairs in US school, as kids yelled “go back to your country”. The reason I know it’s based on skin color, because it happened to me. I don’t have to deal with it on a regular basis, because I’m white and am an adult. It doesn’t mean I don’t understand my privilege, that people cannot tell that I am an immigrant from simply looking at me.
