THE POLICE PROBLEM
The police problem is that police are policed by the police. Cops are accountable only to other cops, which is no accountability at all.
99.9999% of police brutality, corruption, and misconduct is never investigated, never punished, never makes the news, so it's not on this page.
When cops are caught breaking the law, they're investigated by other cops. Details are kept quiet, the officers' names are withheld from public knowledge, and what info is eventually released is only what police choose to release — often nothing at all.
When police are fired — which is all too rare — they leave with 'law enforcement experience' and can easily find work in another police department nearby. It's called "Wandering Cops."
When police testify under oath, they lie so frequently that cops themselves have a joking term for it: "testilying." Yet it's almost unheard of for police to be punished or prosecuted for perjury.
Cops can and do get away with lawlessness, because cops protect other cops. If they don't, they aren't cops for long.
The legal doctrine of "qualified immunity" renders police officers invulnerable to lawsuits for almost anything they do. In practice, getting past 'qualified immunity' is so unlikely, it makes headlines when it happens.
All this is a path to a police state.
In a free society, police must always be under serious and skeptical public oversight, with non-cops and non-cronies in charge, issuing genuine punishment when warranted.
Police who break the law must be prosecuted like anyone else, promptly fired if guilty, and barred from ever working in law-enforcement again.
That's the solution.

obviously the conditions are inhumane, they are being assaulted, starved, raped, and being denied necessities. and likely tortured. thats an easy guess as they have already been caught doing it multiple times in broad daylight.
what i find disturbing is how 40 minutes away form alligator alkatrazz a university in miami is doing human trials for neuralink, and that particular concentration camp has hundreds if not thousands of missing people, gone from their records.
dont mean to be the tin foil hat guy, but the nazis did human trials for some fucked up scifi shit too.
so i wouldnt put it past them.
reminds me of this expert bunker/prepper/security guy talking with billionaires about their future apocolypse lairs like a decade ago, and they wanted to know how they could keep their security detail loyal through the end times. and he said there is no guarantee to stop that from happening.
not long after that neuralink enters the picture as a mainstream take on brain chips.
we are approaching world war 3, and the billionaires have their bunkers, now they just need guaranteed service and obediance from those they take to their living tombs. and those defending them on the outside.
i imagine there would be a bonus for soldiers who sign up to get the latest tech to help "keep our boys safe"
some real guns of the patriots type shit.
tin foil hat off now.
remember A&M university did unsanctioned neuralink on monkeys, and it never worked, ignoring ethics rules of experimenting on animals. and even more supsicious the research isnt published, which is unlikely to be accepted by any science journal anyways.
