DeSantis signs controversial bill banning civilian boards from investigating police misconduct

FloridaMan loves the boot

Well that sounds downright tyrannical. I heard he also signed a turd pre-empting & banning water break mandates (for seasonal / farm workers I suppose). What a jerk. When questioned as to why he would sign that, he said "it would have caused problems." Lol just awful

Overt alignment of force with authoritarian seeking party, so when they go for full coup it's clear there won't be accountability to the "old laws" of serve and protect. When Trump was president he aggressively and repeatedly aimed for this platform as he knows he'll need a law enforcement unit loyal to a dictator not one that believes in democracy.

What the actual fuck. How was this even up for a vote but we didn't know about it. It's a full time job keeping up with and fighting this bullshit every session

“You have review boards, that’s fine, but it’s got to be done in ways where you have the Sheriff or Chief of Police appointing people,” the governor said. “It can’t be people that have an agenda.”

JFC. DeSantis knows how fuckin' dumb he sounds. He just doesn't care.
