law enforcement officials who support the law say that the boards subject their officers to unwanted scrutiny.

Exactly. The thugs, thieves, murderers and rapists are uncomfortable with the fact that the public is becoming aware of the fact that they're thugs, thieves, murderers and rapists, and they want to go back to being able to beat, steal, murder and rape with impunity, and that requires eliminating oversight. So they're actively moving to eliminate meaningful oversight.

It really is just that simple.

This is actually facism. There is no other word that even fits. There is no way to misdirect this. It's facism

This isn't one of those "Everyone I don't like is a Nazi" type accusations. This is just facism

More government cover for their jackboot thugs. The heart of conservatism right there.

Solid foundation for a true police state. Might literally be the only thing this guy is capable of.

police used to be "civillian" as opposed to, for example, military police

This is him moving on from oppressing the racial minorities and moving on to the rich liberals.

He won’t be able to win if people can vote.

I make a motion to restructure the board into a tribunal. We haven't had the table since the wrestling incident anyway.
