The California Justice Department announced today that it has found no cause to file chargesagainst a Los Angeles police officer who, while aiming at a suspect, shot and killed a 14-year-old girl hiding in a department store fitting room.
Fourteen-year-old Valentina Orellana Peralta was picking out a quinceanera dress with her mother just before Christmas in 2021. She was shot and killed by a bullet that ricocheted off the floor.
You’re missing the point. Anyone who is unable to follow firearm safety should be disqualified from holding a position that will require the use of a firearm.
Your flippant attitude doesn’t help anything. Yes, peace officers seem to have no moral code and are currently a detriment to society. However, resigning them to your point of view is somewhere between pessimistic and harmful. We must be open to changing this system for the betterment of society.
the problem is the cops don’t care and they’re not incentivized to care
My flippant attitude is based on this article.
I don’t disagree that you shouldn’t have a gun if you can’t follow basic safety protocols. Unfortunately, California (and the rest of America overall) does disagree. Which was my point.
I don’t think you get the point.
You can say things like “Y’all rape is bad” and we can make laws to also say rape is bad but not enforce it on a few people, then shit is fucked up.
That’s a false equivalence.
The comment they made is about a subset of people, not just a few people.
It’s like saying “Rape is bad” and then someone coming along and saying something like:
“Mexicans think rape is good. You don’t know Mexicans”
Rape is bad, period.
But thanks to the 2nd Amendment anyone who is unable to follow those rules can have multiple guns
