Every day, armed forces are employed in our communities. These forces include Police, State Security, Court Officers, and even ICE. Armed forces have the power to evade detection when laws are being intentionally violated. Are we lying to ourselves? How many times have we watched armed forces brutally attack people? What will it take for the benefit of the doubt to disappear? How can we assume these instances are rare occurrences, without the tools to ensure in depth detection? How many times has a corrupt occurrence or abuse of systemic power gone undetected? 
Frequently, responses from armed agents deviate from the required training and engage in behaviors banned by our mandated guidelines. This divergence endangers public safety and trust, resulting in poorly executed investigations, constant illegal actions committed by armed agents, and it contributes to crime rates within the public and ranks of our armed offices, Especially Domestic Violence, Discrimination and Hate Motivated Crimes. A Lack of education, which is currently being supplemented by training guidelines, utilized as an explanation for harmful conduct is inexcusable. 

To address critical issues such as corrupt investigations, systemic targeting, abuse of power, and outright discrimination, it is imperative to implement more stringent and comprehensive screening processes within the Boston Police Department and any other department with armed municipal agents that utilize Law Enforcement Agency Standards (LEAS), in addition to implementing them where they aren’t being used. This is because the LEAS testing isn’t enough. This petition would additionally require high-scoring individuals, who demonstrate competency and a commitment to public safety, no longer be denied armed duties for an arbitrary reason.

 

New processes will attempt to ensure 0 threat in the instance an illegal order gets given, that armed agents will blindly follow due to lack of recognition, or opposition to our moral standards. 

 

Key to this initiative, near eradication of risk, is the establishment of a robust system to screen out training dismissal and intentional avoidance of protocol implementation in the field, that should operate outside of public reporting, which requires details agents often withhold, is a trigger for retaliation to request, and is laborious on the public. Often, asking for identification triggers acts of violence, corruption,  or antagonisms from armed forces, usually knowingly after or during violations of protocal. 

It shouldn’t be standard for the public, that may not even be aware of what they are facing, to keep detailed logs as a part of standard engagements with armed agents, just in case they need to report them. There is currently a pressure for the standard person to be familiar with all protocol, local law, biases,etc in order to properly report and detect violations. This leaves many groups at risk, such as the uneducated, the simply unfamiliar, bilingual populations, non English speakers, those unfamiliar with the law, or plainly, those in a crisis. 

 

The POST commission, Internal Affairs, and departments that handle law violations aren’t efficient enough. 

Too often conflict of interest, manipulation, and neglect of duty intervene with these processes working. For example, POST committee elects may intentionally dismiss charges due to acts of bias, further complicating and extending the process for what we must perceive as the standard person, which is what violators often expect and take advantage of. 

There needs to be a preventative for outright discrimination to enter positions of power, and a process to rid the current issues within our system.

Mental illness is not solely a public issue. The likelihood for mental illness amongst armed agents is high. Therapy should be mandated for employment. 

Additionally, screenings for traits such as psychopathy, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, sociopathy, misogyny, and implicit bias must be integrated and routinely distributed, as often as every three days, or at least once a week,with the results reported for tracking. These evaluations are crucial for identifying officers who actively or might oppose and disregard essential training mandates or make investigations of violations more difficult, leading to biased and unfair enforcement practices. Registered Sex Offenders are not allowed to work in our government, however sex offenders still manage to get inside. This same idea applies to the named traits. There needs to be stronger recognition and identification of those we entrust with prosecution of violent crimes and carrying weapons in order to detect the opinions that oppose our current anti bias, anti discrimination, anti corruption mandates, which will protect the interests of public safety with prompt intervention. 

Manipulation tactics, Retaliation, and “the benefit of the doubt” can no longer stand. Manipulation tactics and retaliation must be concretely recognizable with the perpetrators no longer tolerated and promptly removed from position. Now is the time to draw the line. The system is not in place to create positions of power. 

A murderous partner nearly kills someone and police ask the victim why they didn’t just leave, with their life being threatened the reason. How did they get into this system? A racist agent struggling with an innocent POC causes a delay of a release of an unlawful hold, another example. This holds us back from protecting our communities from trauma, and terror. 

Any instance of systemic error should be flagged for immediate review. For example, anyone held in a hold for over 24 hrs. Any signs of suspect abuse or neglect. 

Outside agents should review jails for these occurrences to prevent them happening routinely. Once a week.

Framing is preventable, and framing is detectable.

 No more should the perpetrators of these kinds of offenses have a place in our systems, or guns. 

 

In implementing these changes, we would re-align with the Police Reform Act of 2017, upholding its ethos of accountability, transparency, and justice. By addressing these personnel issues at their root, we can foster an environment of diligence and safety in our communities statewide.

Join me in urging the Boston Police Department and similar agencies that have armed forces or forces that can detain you, to adopt these enhanced measures, ensuring that all officers are fit for duty and committed to the community’s wellbeing. Sign this petition to demand a safer and more accountable law enforcement system today.

What this Petition will ask for

Initiation of thorough screenings for Class A and Class B personality disorders that  can impact investigations into conduct and engagements with the public. Similar measures to the Sex Offender ban implemented as preventatives even if flagging officers is all that can legally be done. These people when detected if deemed capable, need to be required to engage in social services.
Engagements armed agents have with the public, through body cameras or other means should be  screened for bias regularly, with usage penally docked. There should be a position designated for review, and or a digital system programmed to recognize it through phrases, protocol uploading, etc that agents will have to upload at the end of the day, midweek, or end of week into.

Retaliation is a one and done offense, Immediate Dismissal

Implicit Bias testing should be done prior to becoming an armed agent, and certain scores or results are grounds to be denied employment. Employed forces are to be immediately tested, monitored by qualified scientists and psychologists to ensure proper test execution. Biases results are to be recorded for each officer in a file. 

Armed agents and agents with the authority to use physical force need to be recording in some way 24/7 including in office at reception, or in court.(Audio mandated) Staff members know where the blind spots are. 

All telephone lines must be recorded. No exceptions.

LEAS high aptitude scorers cannot be denied because “they will get bored”.

 
Bias results are used for reference per agent when doing internal investigations.
a routine internal screening process for violations that isn’t initiated or the responsibility of public detection.

Instances of Body Cameras being turned off, or missing/tampered recordings are immediate grounds for dismissal. They should be turned on at dispatch.

Benefit of the doubt is to be banned.

Standard manipulation tactics are to be trained for recognition with tests.

Biased responses are to be documented in a list form for exact identification and reference for internal reviewers. 

Social Stigmas are to be screened through interview or questionnaires.

Psychological analysis is to be banned by armed agents. They are unqualified. Any instance of projection of a mental illness to condone any action without review from a psychological professional is grounds for a penal action. A new job should be created for Psychologists to be on hand for armed agents. They should also be screened, trained for bias recognition, and tested.
Certain crimes are to be flagged for frequent misuse to avoid neglect of duty due to bias. Example: harassment of the police department. Actual instances of harassment need to be managed to avoid misuse.
Training for recognition of illegal orders or abuse of power to avoid abuse of authority by supervisorial staff and empower agents to address corruption.
Screening for outright disagreement with anti-discrimination protocals. Rhetorics are to be taught for recognition by specific personnel to avoid intentional evasiveness. Outright discrimination and use of bias must be grounds for ineligibility for employment. This can be detected through testing, interview, or monitoring. 
Workplace behavior can impact the fieldwork officers do. Instances of bias in the field should initiate review of workplace behavior. Workplace discrimination and harassment is to be recognized with formal processes initiated by supervisors, with the chain of command responsible for the lower level staff review. For example, gender based bullying, or other forms of discrimination are to be able to be recognized without reporting.
Neglect of duty will be penalized harsher. Armed Agents are not in an office where employment is about monetary incentive. The money is compensation for what gives armed agents the benefit of the doubt, and abuse of this presumption should be punished harshly. Salaries should be deducted for specific workers that lack compassion or neglect their duty due to monetary incentive. People deserve diligence, compassion, and care. No armed agent should neglect protocals and duty because their motive for employment is purely monetary. This motive leads to instances of corruption or egregious hypocrisy, like a court officer making fun of women in DV hearings, motives around social status or class instead of public safety, or armed agents that abuse their partners at home. 
Work burnout should be recognized, and social worker sessions with days off should be mandated.
Protocal violations have many causes. Therepeutic practices should be implemented at shift start and end, to ensure emotional responses cannot be used to excuse intentional disregard due to personal opinion. Issues like anxiety management during dispatch will be addressed prior to assignment.
All officers must have bullet proof vests. No officer that initially uses a firearm at any non violent dispatch is allowed to be dispatched to any violent call. 
Rhetorics that intervene with the proper implementation of guidelines and protocols should be taught for recognition with the knowledge used to determine employment eligibility through interview.
Emotional manipulation needs to be more effectively recognized in order to ensure proper investigations into both criminal and internal investigations 
Misuse and misinterpretation must be detected to avoid abuse of knowledge.
Assumption and generalizations about the public are barred from impacting discernments, and usages of this are grounds for dismissal.
Knowledge of stereotypes is mandatory and tested. 
Knowledge of what is and isnt legal is tested weekly and sporadically. This is not to be construed to be similar to a bar exam, however basic law recognition can be included. This is partially meant to be a behavioral perception test. This is to prevent instances where police misuse power and criminalize a legal behavior.

 

To address usages of Bias and outright discrimination in the Public

Due to the current Administrations overturning of DEI it is imperative for the safety of protected classes that public clarification on the legality of discrimination should be expressly communicated. This petition suggests the need for a possible Executive or Emergency Order conveying that the targeting of Ethnic Groups and other Protected Classes is banned and considered against MA and Federal Law. The vagueness of the definition of levying of war should be distinctively defined for the public as tensions rise and minor acts of intentional treason against the state and Constitution due to DEI overturning federally take place. This includes in social services centers, schools, or workplace dynamics. The actions of our municipal agents should be taken into consideration for penal action at this time. Disarming officers of the Commonwealth who have displayed dangerous behavior due to DEI overturning is an official suggestion. These actions are NOT officially requested for implementation by this petitions success or approval. 

The truth is that the motives behind becoming an armed officer are not always ones of merit. Even those who claim they took their position to defend their country, courts, public, jails, etc, may have a false concept of what their country is, and that idea is what they’re defending. Some people, including people of all ethnicities, carry Confederate ideas and will abuse their power to infiltrate and corrupt our systems, knowing what to say, and what to portray to manipulate the system, like any standard abuser or criminal. This is why these screenings and other implementations will be essential to keeping everyone safe, as Trump makes clear to the world he is enabling varying levels of violent extremism, slowly but steadily taking genocidal actions using documented genocidal tactics, that can and will massacre groups of people of color. On the basis of the argument of race, the idea of anti white bias, or “white racism” has been used as a motive by violent extremists to justify the overturning of DEI. However the execution of the overturning of DEI in the public has predominantly targeted POC. Additionally this exists outside of multicultural consideration and inter ethnic discrimination amongst minorities. This violent authoritarianism and trigger word campaign, empowers and enables common people to target those who oppose rhetorics that are rooted in associations far from basic logic. Violence has surged nationally, discrimination has surged and the president has empowered false ideologies rooted in misinterpretation and manipulation to enable various unjustified criminal offenses. Some armed agents are of these beliefs, just like some of the criminals we see in the news. I believe we must be more mindful of this. 

 

This means people who have guns,  believe certain groups of people to be animals, find slavery funny, believe POC don’t tell the truth, use “hunches” implicitly directed by racist rhetorics,  solve “investigations” using racist understandings of other beings to direct the narrative, think POC using police is ironic, portray the values of this country but go home and comment  hate online, do not do their job at all intentionally or abuse their position for self gain, hint at the n-word, etc. The confidence armed agents have in themselves knowing how the system investigates certain claims and the perspective of the public within the system, allows for dangerous wormholes that defend training defiance from being detected and eliminated. It is a corruption of our forces that is not just, putting ten chicken nuggets into a 6 piece meal, it endangers us all. It is an angry person with a gun with a feeling of invincibility, it’s someone with immense trauma blindly trying to atone for their shame utilizing their anger or insecurity, it’s someone who needs to be right all the time, it is someone who will just lie, it’s someone who will pass a test on discrimination with an A and do it anyways. It’s someone who carries an err of superiority against the public, that generalizes the public, creating major oversight, that angers them when critiqued. This is dangerous, occurs frequently, and is threatening peoples lives.  How many times has a group of our armed forces all in agreement, with access to government resources, abused this power and killed someone who asked them to do an aspect of their job or less? How many people have been jailed due to someone doing their job poorly on purpose and retaliating? How many armed agents are trapped in a generalization of the public rooted in hatred, fear, or unwillingness to care? How many are trapped in the bubble of where they work, and use that to condone discrimination? How many gaslight discrimination? How many perpetrate violence or use a botched deduction during investigation due to the use of a discriminatory rhetoric? How many use personal motives like perceived privilege to deny services or make assumptions? What about anger levels when being corrected? What about assumptions based off of perceived fact?  What about those that aren’t able to do investigations due to capability, being unable to make distinctions or those that willfully do not care for detail? Those who got the job just for money and the idea of repoire, redirect responsibility of knowledge,  denying the public resources and assistance. What about workplace targeting, framing and attacking those who were professional and did their job carefully by a group?  

 

Because of the political environment Please consider enforcing these policies, without mass public support as time goes by. Thank you.
