ACAB about police being aggressive towards our people and it needs to stop. People are scared to even do anything because we think we might get in trouble. Or god forbid killed. something. implemented. None Police need to be held accountable and not treated superior to the law! Especially in Santa Ana The Police Union should no longer have the ability to make campaign contributions for city elections Police should not have qualified immunity, and should be held accountable.
