Order the cowards to take their masks off. Order them to Prove they have never been convicted of a crime and they have legitimate marketable skills. Trump is good for low unemployment for cowardly punks.

MPD has been historically riddled with racist asshole cops, as the George Floyd murder demonstrated, but there's been a lot of turnover since then, and the new chief sounds like he means business. They handled the Annunciation Church shooting quite well. So we'll see.

Even generally liberal areas like LA, Oakland and San Francisco, the cops are mostly still dicks. Oh, and let's not get started on BART cops! Though at least cops in CA are (very) occasionally held accountable.

In their defense it's kind of a shit job, and they deal with a lot of even bigger assholes than they are on the reg. Probably to them it feels like they're remarkably restrained when they don't beat the crap out of certain people.
