Cops shouldn't be allowed to vote
If you think about it, the same argument used against felons voting--that they would vote for whoever would give them the most or let them out of prison (don't laugh, ppl really believe this)--is much more applicable to cops: look how terrified Mayor DeBlasio is of the NYPD and doing anything to reign them in; they have quite literally bent the law in their favor for decades now
If you're a supposed "public servant" meant to "serve and protect," then we should quite reasonably ask for power to come with responsibility (as long as ppl are fine to let them continue existing): it's too dangerous for them, the largest violent gang in the US, to exert influence on the laws of the state.
Citizens should absolutely be allowed to ask for the firing of a police officer as well, and drag their name through the mud as much as possible in the process. They should have never been allowed to grow as a distinct bureaucracy with no civilian control or citizen oversight in the first place. It's quite absurd when you stop to think that we let these goons walk around threatening us in the supposed role of "protectors" but we have no recall ability whatsoever
@Catsandcatsandcats Why should people be able to commit libel and slander law enforcement?
