Lone black Republican Senator says he is open to 'decertification' of bad police

WASHINGTON - Tim Scott, the only black Republican member of the U.S. Senate, said on Sunday he is open to exploring whether to enact a new law that would decertify bad police officers as part of a larger law enforcement reform package.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell last week tapped Scott to oversee the drafting of new policing reform legislation in response to public outrage over high profile police killings of African Americans including George Floyd, who died after a white police officer knelt on his neck. In the latest case to trigger anger among activists, protesters shut down a major highway in Atlanta on Saturday and burned down a Wendy's restaurant where a black man was shot dead by police as he tried to escape arrest.

First the state has to require certification. THEN, they can begin the process of decertification

Bad cop? Fire as a starting point. Criminal? Arrest and charge. That is all obvious.

I bet after they tore the world up he cares now.

Defend them; don’t defund them. May true justice triumph and reinforce our trust in and respect for the rule of law.
