I’m trying to think in a way, any way, that you could spin this in to a positive thing.
I can’t think of one. There is no way to make this look like a good thing for anyone except a very all group of people.
So how do they sell this to their constituents?
Because they think the cops are the good guys and that civilian review boards exist to hinder them and prevent them from keeping themselves and everyone else safe. Especially because they think that the people who’d join a civilian review board are anti cop.
On the left we’re aware of the police problem but there’s a lot of pro cop and anti criminal propaganda in American culture still and many people still believe whatever the cops say.
Also racism obviously plays a role here
Only liberal trans commie folk would ever think to question let alone attempt to hold them responsible‽ Best stupid logic I can imagine…
Accountability is woke
They believe that civilian boards and panels are made up of “woke” activists that want to screech at them and defund them. Since these panels aren’t as hardline conservative/fascist as they are, they’re “libtards” who shouldn’t have a say in these “conservative” matters.
Patriotism.
If it’s anything like where I’m at, cops (and troops) are heroes and therefore any criticism (or even showing the slightest doubt) of their actions is seen as anti-American
Except Capitol cops it’s okay to hate them and celebrate their death or injuries because they are uhm deep state and stuff yes.
Good point
This part really got me:
“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.”
The Sheriff and the Chief of Police are the very people who have an agenda. Of course DeSantis knows this. Sane people in Florida need to evacuate as soon as possible.
it cant be the people that have an agenda that conflicts with our agenda of murdering people without repercussions
It’s honestly rather ironic how they always claim they’re avoiding the exact thing they’re doing.

We can’t have the minor chance that the civilian board might have an agenda vs the people like the sheriff or police that absolutely have an agenda.
Sane people in Florida need to evacuate as soon as possible.
No! That is exactly the power play. Policies like this are intended to move liberal voters out of swing states. You know, the ones that away the elections. They want the swing states to be red states.
Those that want to suffer for the sake of the Democratic party may stay.
Man this government is SO tiny
DeSantis signs “unchecked police corruption and perpetual personal amnesty” bill.
We must always remember that to Republicans “Small Government” means “a small number of our own people have total authority”.
And the anti government overreach maga cunts LOVE this shit!
“Accountability is WOKE!” - Ron Pudding Fingers DeSantis
Cops should be free to kill civilians. Why is anyone questioning this? /s
He also passed legislation that made it legal to kill protestors with your vehicle if they were in the road.
I really don’t think that /s is warranted that’s literally his stance on the matter.
Sadly that’s also been done in a lot of other republican states
Does that mean it’s legal for me to shoot the driver? After all I have the right to stand my ground and the cops love telling us how cars are a lethal weapon…
Also, the enemies of the far right are not going to shove themselves onto trains…
The last time I heard about bills like this had to do with a burning Reichstag building
Armed agents of the state with the power to detain, arrest, and imprison are explicitly excluded from oversight. What could go wrong?
…You forgot “decide to 💥 you.”
He’s such a fascist piece of shit and there is no bottom with him, just a complete garbage human being being propped up by other sycophantic garbage humans.
It’s fucking absurd, he just keeps thinking up new ways to prove how much of a piece of shit he is.
It really feels like the FL GOP just hang out around the legislature thinking about new ways to fuck with people, just a bunch of bullies looking for targets.
WOW. I know he’s a scumlord GOP bootlicker, but this is bad, even for them. Unsurprising, though; all they want is to cause suffering, control woman, punish the poor, suck off the rich, and spread hate. Absolute garbage of a “human being”. What a disgusting, soulless wretch of a “man”.
He needs this for his brownshirts.
Okay, here’s the deal. Everything west of Tallahassee becomes Alabama. Everything east of Tallahassee remains florida. Tallahassee and a safe radius around it (10 miles?) we do the bugs bunny meme where we cut it off and it drifts into the ocean. We offer rescue boats to anyone who wants one except DeSantis.
More from the “law and order” party.
Yes, Laws to protect them and Order to oppress you. Was this not covered on your “Welcome to American Fascism!” orientation day? It’s on the second page of the packet.
Florida and Texas are competing to see who can be worse than Mississippi first.
I really hope this leads to flipping Florida, but past experience tells me people aren’t even smart enough to know they’re being oppressed in red states.
As long as people they don’t like are being hurt more, they’ll bend over and ask for more. 🙋♂️
Well considering the government there has taken to ignoring the will of the people in regards to who gets to vote, I’m not hopeful.
