Sensible Police Reform

[LickNeckey]

I heard an interesting proposal to differentiate Police services into different agencies or divisions within a department.

Sending in the same people to a burglary in progress and mental health situation might be a fundamental flaw in current practice.

Whatever we can do to make police encounters as transparent and recorded as possible.  Right now that means mandatory bodycams and dash cams at a minimum.

Any proposal that doesn't start with immediately defunding and disbanding every police department isn't worth my time.

The police do what society wants them to do.  Unless you fix the underlying society, attempts at reform will fail.

1. Defund all police
2. Body cams for all police
3. Hire better police

I'm hopeful a general "defund the police" platform can grow into more. It's as good a place to start as any.

It’s a pipe dream and a poor one at that

These all sound good.

I wonder if RCPD showed up in their riot tank at a march/protest in Manhattan to justify the grant and get it forgiven. (Someone told me they had to use it within 2 years per the terms of wherever the money came from)
