NC Gov Signs New Police Reforms but the Placebo Syndrome [servitude] Remains Status Quo: Dems/GOP Make Believe in "Authority"- The Govt has Absolute, Uncontrollable Power Over Citizens, who Must Obey
/From [HERE] GOP Gov. Roy Cooper [in photo above with BLM] signed a slate of policing reforms into law Thursday, creating a new duty for officers to intervene if they see another officer using excessive force.
The measures also include new tracking meant to keep problem officers from jumping departments by creating databases accessible to law enforcement and a standards commission, though not the public.
There's new required training, new psychological exams for officers and a new requirement that the the State Bureau of Investigation investigate deaths at the hands of law enforcement when the governor, a law enforcement agency head, a district attorney or the commissioner of prisoners requests it.
"No. 1, this is an important step," Cooper said before he signed the bills. "But, No. 2, there is more to do."
Even so, Cooper said he was "excited" to sign the bills, and even activists who have blasted the measures as inadequate attended Thursday's signing ceremony outside the Executive Mansion. The bills had widespread, bipartisan support in the state legislature, as well as support from law enforcement groups and the state's district attorneys.
