I agree with all of these policies to be enforced, except #4. It would be impossible in certain situations.

View attachment 22146
I am on board with #2, #7, and #8.

Commenting on #1 - What if an officer is in physical combat with an assailant? Does an arriving back up officer now need to "de-escalate" the situation?

Commenting on #3 - Sometimes the only way you are getting an assailant off of someone is a choke hold.

Commenting on #4 - There isn't always time to use commands. Like when you are being fired upon or physically attacked.

Commenting on #5 - Use best judgment.

Commenting on #6 - Again, there isn't always time when you are being fired upon or physically attacked.

I think that most sane open minded people can agree that it's not easy to enforce strict guidelines in every situation that a law enforcement officer encounters. You can't get black and white (no pun intended) in a gray World.
 
The Civil War ended in 1865.
It was funded, owned, created, and commemorated by members of the KKK. It's about as or even more synonymous with the KKK as it is with the figures on the wall. It was the site of their rallies for 50 years until Georgia put a stop to it. Notably the brothers who commenced it did so more to honor the heros of the KKK and mark the land for its purpose, which was cross-burnings and rallies, than the civil war which ended when even the oldest of the 2 brothers was a child.

Sometimes things take on new meanings as they age, but the original meaning is still important too. Many of these statues were put up in the 20th century (like Stone mountain), not the 19th, as a part of Jim Crow laws to oppress black people who were no longer slaves and cement in their descendants who had never been slaves that they still weren't equal.

"There is a consensus among Egyptologists that the Great Pyramids were not built by slaves. Rather, it was peasants who built the pyramids during flooding, when they could not work in their lands."

So the Egyptians called them peasants instead of slaves but they were still of equal classification

Not exactly, slavery was more complicated in Egypt than it was in America. Peasants chose their own trade and basically "owned themselves" while one type of slave was basically a peasant who sold themselves and no longer chooses their own trade and who's work is considered payment. They still had their own property rights. The distinction between types of slaves was important, because prisoners of war were of lower class than peasants who had bargained with servitude. The Pyramids were not built by prisoners of war, they were built by farming class peasants during times they couldn't tend to their field due to flooding.
