Jamie Foxx says police need a ‘deterrent’ to stop incidents like death of George Floyd | ABC News

Jamie Foxx: “If that man can be handcuffed, if that man sit on that man’s neck for that long and feel comfortable about it, that means that he’s not afraid of what’s going to happen.”

“They have to be worried that ‘I could go to jail for this.'” abcn.ws/3gI7299

  1. Police Reform that will effect real change in police culture and brutality

    1. Create a permanent independent prosecutorial office dedicated solely to review of police encounters with the public that has the power to investigate, issue subpoenas and criminally charge officers for lethal and (more importantly) nonlethal acts of violence and humiliation committed against citizens.

    2. Create a new set of felony laws specifically around police violence and use of force misconduct, including:
    2.1. willful blindness,
    2.2. aiding and abetting,
    2.3. conspiracy,
    2.4. post-crime accessory, and
    2.5. failure to supervise.

    3. Make criminal acts of violence and/or humiliation committed under color of law or office an aggravating factor at sentencing with requisite sentence enhancements.

  2. I have the answer. And it should come to no surprise… decriminalize all and any victimless crimes.
    This achieves 2 things: you prevent cops from being able to abuse their power. You take away the power for criminals to make money:

  3. Exactly what I've been saying Jamie but you can't hear my voice. Deterrent =George Floyd Law. National mandatory life sentences for any cop who willfully takes a life. With a special circumstance clause if it is a hate crime. Death. Ship them to the nearest state with a gerny and a needle. If they kill someone they should never see the outside of prison walls since they didn't afford their victim the freedom to live and roam.

  4. Hey, Jamie Foxx was a big fan of Tookie Williams who killed two people (and some other things). What's Foxx's problem, did the cop not kill ENOUGH people?

  5. How about white shirt superior officers patrolling with regular cops supervising? Better training? Communities working with officers like a Neighborhood Safety Watch? You need concrete plans not chaos!

  6. They have to understand they could get kicked in the face while they are choking someone out. Standing around with a mbl phone shouldn't fly anymore. That's action too.

  7. We need background checks done routinely to weed out white supremacists from the ranks of officers, and from the police unions. The problem is well known and is the elephant in the room. No one wants white supremacists working with them, especially police officers.

  8. This is an isolated incident – not systemic.  That's why we hear so few reports and when we do they're ginned up to national crisis level and for days.  I don't think the cops were wrong in taking precautions and restraining a man who served time for armed robbery.

    Police have a dangerous job, making interactions with them generally unpleasant.  However, the police did nothing wrong in restraining a convicted criminal who had served time for ARMED robbery in TX and was intoxicated and fleeing the scene of a crime and resisting arrest.  The videos don't show the cops being overly aggressive.  One of the cops even talking to a young woman who was filming him and saying to her 'this is why you shouldn't use drugs'.  Filming him – he knew he was being filmed and still spoke to her, yet were supposed to believe he's a racist intent on murder.  The scene looked routine, like they had done it before and knew what they were doing and it was just ordinary standard procedure.

    I don't think any of them imagined Floyd would die.  Otherwise I think one of them would have stopped it.  I'm sure some of these guys have homes and families and I doubt any of them wanted to loose their jobs, their homes, ruin their lives and risk jail time for killing a man who was a criminal in real life and not the wantonly slain albatross the media has painted him out to be (deeds not words – and he owns his past just like the rest of us do) and slung around our nations neck.

    Though Floyd's death is tragic it has happened before with others like Eric Gardner and Freddy Gray, but they are all exceptions to the rule not the rule.  Gardener was also choked, and in all three cases they were being restrained, and most importantly – most importantly – the headlines read 'white cop kills black man'.  The race baiting headlines the media lovingly longs for to exploit a gash in the American psyche (that shouldn't be there and only there because of the self loathing ingrained into us) despite how rare these incidents really are.

  9. A good start would be to require that officers have a body camera on and in operation whenever they are armed, including when they are off-duty or at rent-a-cop jobs. The cameras can be checked and if there is missing video, the policeman is immediately suspended without pay, and unless there is a compelling reason otherwise, fired.

    Another good step would be to require extensive psychological vetting for all new law enforcement personnel and periodic re-vetting every several years. At least make an attempt to weed out some of the bad apples.

    And a third step would be a "substitution penalty" whereby if a conviction results from prosecutorial misconduct, when the act is found out, the cops, lawyers, prosecutors, or even judges that actively participated would be required to serve the original sentence of the wrongly convicted person and serve at least as long as he did before being eligible for parole.

    We can't keep doing the same things and expecting different result.

  10. This idiot got on a fleece the says BUSY MAKING MY ANCESTORS PROUD King Solomon was one of the first to condemn himself by being friends with the fallen ones. I say this tho THE LORD WILL COME LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT
