What Democrats are willing to do to address police unions in their new reform effort is bigger than one piece of legislation. It could ultimately determine how far the party is willing to go to address the racial reckoning that’s dominated much of 2020 and which parts of their base they are willing to prioritize.

yup.

We can save the suspense, they won't do crap.

I gotta think some plucky dem could figure out a way to allow a strong police union but completely change what police are asked to do. Like qualified immunity would rarely come up if most cops didn't have guns.

But yes, Dems will do nothing

Notice they didn't show a mugshot of the person apprehended, an unprecedented measure of restraint from the NYPD, wonder why.

stone is one of the more interesting and eclectic commenters on twitter (although i tend to find his graphs almost completely unreadable).

I'm disappointed this wasn't in the covid thread but oh well

Any riots in Wichita last night? My SIL was sending my wife texts last night indicating that "Soros was targeting Wichita (and presumably the white-flight suburbs) for riots." I'll try to get you a screen shot later.

You'd think they would learn but it's pretty much this

Weird, I did not get this text on my official Soros provided riot coordinating phone.

In that case, you should be very cautious. You could be on the list to be purged.

Yup, went through pretty much exactly that conversation with my mom who has absolutely no objection to reallocation.

I had this discussion with a cousin who works for Olathe PD. He is all for defunding if it means reform for social worker resources to answer all the wellness calls. Checking on someone passed out drunk or high in a front yard gets old apparently.

Governing based on what morons interpret things to be is always a sound strategy.

i find it difficult to criticize people who think that "defund the police" probably involves defunding the police.

In this specific case, two different things have to be done, first, one would have to pretend that "defund the police" is some widely accepted concept. Then, you would, after internally accepting that this is a widely accepted concept, not read anything about what that phrase means. I'm going to continue to be of the idea that this only has legs with people who only get their news from facebook, uncle jim, or OANN. I will refuse to take this seriously, it's either coming from people with agendas, or those who want to remain in an echo chamber.

They remind me of the people who say that Black Lives Matter want to eliminate fathers or destroy the nuclear family.
