Ann Coulter’s 16-Point "Consent Decree" Plan To End Police Shootings
https://vdare.com/articles/ann-coult...to_paragraph=1
To use the cliche of the moment, these are deeply polarized times. But there are some issues so urgent that we must find common ground. At the top of that list is preventing police-citizen interactions from resulting in the deaths of either innocent civilians or dedicated police officers. Unsurprisingly, Joe Biden’s Justice Department is now signaling its intent to address this problem in the time-honored Democrat way—by “investigating” local police departments, so it can then announce the foregone conclusion that “systemic racism” abounds. The next step in that playbook is a “Consent Decree,” where local police departments, under threat of crippling and endless Dickensian litigation, agree to hand over their keys to the feds. And yes, this nifty move is executed under color of law, though it’s not entirely different in spirit from the way Captain Phillips lost control of his container ship on the high seas, if you happened to catch the Tom Hanks movie. Conservatives are girding for battle. In the past, Consent Decrees have been used to kneecap police departments, compelling them to waste millions of dollars on paperwork, and focus on concerns notable for not being “Keeping the Public Safe.” Maybe in the interest of comity, we shouldn’t abandon Consent Decrees so fast. So here’s my stab at one. Below, I have enumerated 16 bullet points that I believe we can all agree on. When motorists see flashing police lights behind them, they consent to pull over. (See what I mean? Nothing but common sense!) Upon being asked for their license and registration, drivers will consent to produce those documents and not to fight with the officer, drive off or reach for a gun. (Again: comity!) As a general rule, it is advisable that drivers not engage in a game of Do I have a gun—or is it a cellphone? with the officers, but when asked to show their hands … well, I guess you’d say, “consent.” (Beginning to see the pattern?) For citizens holding the drug money for a major fentanyl ring in Louisville, Kentucky, if the police knock on your door at midnight, you consent not to shoot at the officers, but to open the door and say, “Yes, may I help you?” (Observation will reveal that this point cannot fail to produce the safe policing that we all desire.) In fact, in any door-knock situation, you consent not to shoot at the police. We may further strike the “in a door-knock situation” from that last point. In all circumstances, anywhere, anytime, citizens consent not to shoot at police officers. While it is preferable that assailants not burst from their homes carrying 8-inch knives and screaming, “I’m gonna stab the f*ck out of you,” when those circumstances arise, and responding officers have requested that the knife be put down just prior to the actual stabbing commencing, the assailant will consent. (This will be music to #BlackLivesMatter’s ears, inasmuch as they believe that, you know, black lives matter.) When sprinting through an alley at 2:30 in the morning holding a recently fired gun, with police in hot pursuit demanding that the suspect stop, the fleeing suspect will consent to stop. If a further request is made that the suspect drop the gun, the fleeing suspect will provide his consent. (Police officers tend to be very strict about this sort of thing.) Consent similarly will be given when a police officer directs pedestrians strolling in the middle of a street to use the sidewalk. Middle-of- the-street pedestrians will consent not to punch the officer or try to steal his gun. Citizens will additionally consent not to turn and charge at the officer. When picking up children from a woman who has a restraining order against you and has just called the police on you, and the responding officers order you to drop a knife, you will consent to drop the knife. If the officers ask you to stop walking around the car, do not keep walking, do not open the car door and do not reach inside for something out of sight of the officers. Instead, you will consent to stop. In parked-car scenarios, when you’ve just passed a counterfeit bill and ingested several speedballs, and a policeman asks to see your hands, consent to show your hands. It is especially important to consent when officers ask you to climb into the back of a police van and not to fight with them. A Consent Decree for our times! And as you can see, these 16 points are the very definition of unifying, hands-across-the-ocean, common- sense proposals. If we as a country can agree to these simple rules, maybe this will light the way forward on other contentious issue. But let’s start here, because brave cops deserve to be protected. And because black lives matter. COPYRIGHT 2020 ANN COULTER |

Ann Coulter’s 16-Point "Consent Decree" Plan To End Police Shootings
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj0mtxXEGE8 I was never a big fan of Chris Rock - in his early days .. ... his delivery put me off . ... later on, as he became famous, his irreverence - in the face of power - won me over. I'm not sure when this video was made 2007 on youtube but the satire seems lost here in alt home repair ? .... also - police using nightsticks on black perps ? really ? ... more like shoot first .. get that notch on your gun.

So, can anyone say what's wrong with Ann's points of concession, other than give an emotional response? What would happen if everyone did what the police asked?

In my opinion, what's wrong with her statement is that it is too much of a generalization. There are explicit situations where early deployment of the police and their early use of deadly force can arguably be justified, such as (1) when the suspect/perp is placing other lives in immediate danger - whether the target(s) might be civilian or other law enforcement is irrelevant, and (2) the suspect/perp is an escaped prisoner who was already convicted of a capital offense. As I write this, I'm unable to come up with any additional examples. My feeling is that barring those two circumstances, no officer of the court should have the right to use deadly force. If someone who the police wish to detain in any other scenario than what I've mentioned above attempts to escape an attempted detention, the police should either attempt to restrain them by threatening/using only non-lethal force or allow the perp/suspect to escape rather than potentially provoke actions that might cause injuries or death disproportionate to the alleged offense that justified the initial detention (such as driving off and injuring/killing innocent people with their vehicle). As an aside, I don't agree with the use of immediate lethal force even if the suspect/perp was directly observed by officers of the court committing a capital offense but isn't threatening anyone else. The suspect/perp has a right to claim self-defense or insanity and the proper disposition of that situation is the role of the courts. The police shouldn't act as judge, jury and executioner. |

Many people when stopped would get rather defensive, or take off, or behave in a rather difficult manner. Simple traffic stops become felonies or they fight and get tased. Sitting here at our keyboards it is easy to say what "should" be done but in the field there is often a split second to react and perhaps save your life or others. Sure, there are bad cops but there are many people acting bad when a little patience and politeness can be a big help. It should not be as hard as it is. The police should not act as judge, jury and executioner but they may if you point a gun at them. |

Sure, it would certainly be selective about what it shows but what it showed did happen in real life. Real life would be far too boring for the type of people who watch that type of mindless programming. That’s why they only show the more interesting events that did happen. And it isnt mindless programming either. |
