I mean, it think it's the wrong question. I think the question is, what can we do to minimize the need for police? The problem there is it usually involves lifting up poorer communities and no one wants to supply these communities with the resources to do it.
Amen. What I find fascinating and difficult to swallow is impoverished (and non) people's desire to have kids and not raise them, almost as if they are happy with their shit sandwich, and think "yeah" I'll give this to a another human. Boy o boy have I seen deplorables breed when they are in no capacity to look after themselves. It comes across to me as a type of evil. The meat grinder is made from this stupidity.
This is why I decided I didn't want kids many years ago. I can barely look after myself, I can't imagine having to take care of kids.
The cruelest thing you can do to another person is to bring them into the world. If you're already going to be that much of a monster the least you can do is fucking look after them, too.
Well said.
Agreed. It is multi step
You reduce the need for it, you reduce their military power. You give them better training and force them to use non lethal forces when possible (usually it is)
Stop breaking into people's houses incorrectly and shooting them
Also forced body cameras and strict follow up
Police should be needed less, but police still need to be policed by the people
