Cops Can Legally Kill You and Have No Duty to Protect and Serve
Congressional candidate Joe Kopsick (IL-10) exposes the "police brutality emergency" which has come to public light in the wake of the murder of George Floyd and the subsequent protests and riots.
Kopsick explains the cases of Warren v. District of Columbia (1981) and Bad Elk v. United States (1899/1900), two important Supreme Court cases which influenced the responsibilities of the police.
Kopsick explains what those cases have to do with the supposed "duty to protect and serve" and whether we have the right to defend ourselves against the police during an unlawful arrest. According to Kopsick's research, "cops can legally kill you" in 35 states plus D.C., and cops "have no duty to protect and serve" outside of a private contract specifically obligating them to protect and serve a particular client.
Kopsick explains his campaign's mission to urge 35 state governors and the mayor of D.C. to respect the precedent set in the Bad Elk case and protect civilians' rights to resist the use of deadly force by police during unlawful arrest.
Kopsick also discusses the role of private security in all this, as well as which reforms to policing are necessary to reduce the chance that deadly force will be used.
