President Trump has ordered the shutdown of the first nationwide database tracking misconduct by federal police officers.

The closure, first reported by the Washington Post on Thursday, ends the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database — a resource experts said improved public safety by preventing bad officers from jumping from agency to agency.

    Genuinely wondering what portion of conservative voters support something like this.

    It seems kinda indefensible really.

    If a cop is terminated from one agency due to misconduct, why would you want them employed by your local agency?

      Visiting my MAGA family for a few weeks. It’s only been two days and I can assure you that they don’t and won’t know any of this. They’re convinced by the double speak, in between Cialis and car dealership commercials that this is what they want.

        It’s fucking insane how gullible some of these people are. I still spend time on Facebook and see a lot of their rhetoric and they’ll literally post screenshot of TikTok videos from random people as proof of some massive conspiracy being committed by the “deep state” or whatever the current news cycle is telling them to hate.

      Most Reich Wingers want no oversight of their armed thugs.

      Until it personally affects them.

      You see, holding cops accountable for murdering black people is woke DEI nonsense, and therefore the database is Stalin’s SS Gestapo!

      Or something like that 🤦
