There are a lot of bad cops out there. It has become clear. The system of blue brotherhood is a huge problem too. That cop shoved that woman down and she hit her head...his superior was right there with him and he did nothing. Shit needs to change. Is it wrong of me to have found some pleasure in that other cop being knocked the fuck out?
Or... Revamp the entire justice system. DA’s, Law Enforcement, Judges. Yes this is about Black Lives Matter, but seriously you know who our systems is good for? Basically wealthy people (and mostly white wealthy people). Cops not just need to be better trained but armed cops need to be trained to an exceptional extent. Our “justice” system pretty much makes laws for the rich, chooses who to enforce those laws on, and is allowed to self-police themselves. They investigate their buddies and dont find anything.
Are you saying Scrub Jimmy Dore, you (Zuckerberg) capitalist pieces of shit? Or are you calling Jimmy Dore a scrub, capitalist piece of shit? Im not being flippant or dismissive, I was genuinely a little confused
i think he is saying to scrub jimmy and being cynical. Like.. yeah. Give trump four more years you peices of shit!
..."attracting better cops and teachers" means pay them in a commensurate manner. In some parts of the world the highest graduates become teachers...in the US, they become lawyers or whatever. Cops?...same thing. Just about anyone can become a cop but again, they are not well paid at all...so, "garbage in, garbage out". As far as DAs and judges, many of them are elected by people like us...you know, the same people who elected Trump. But yes, as far as the justice system, there's always room for improvement, like just about everything else. But it's not just the justice system, for the most part our culture is as much to blame for our woes as anything else.
Only realistic way to do that would be to decrease military spending (so you can pay them). That's going to be a tough sell in the USA.
Agreed...for that matter, they can pay the military accordingly. If Trump can waste money on a wall, give huge tax breaks to the rich and big business, paying cops, teachers, and our future vets for what they're worth should not be a problem fiscally.
I've been trying for sixty years. I've even included it as my no. 1 concern on all political surveys sent my way. It really should be the no. 1 concern of this nation. If it's possible for this sort of shit to happen any group of decent people than it could happen to me.
I saw a black woman during "person on the street" interviews at DC protest, asked why she was out there, saying she needs to get uncomfortable. White people need to get uncomfortable. White privilege is real. If you deny it then you are embracing it. We can realize it's true, I know despite misogyny I have privilege as a white woman like it or not, without embracing it. Repression is not the solution to every social problem. Cops don't need to be called for every dispute. Far more money goes to cops and military than food, education, job training, medicare. That needs to be flipped. Stop saying it's not our problem, it is our fucking problem every day.
Reading this: https://www.allmomdoes.com/2020/05/11/when-my-beautiful-black-boy-grows-from-cute-to-a-threat/ Thought of what @dviss1 said about his son. Children aren't scary. People dancing aren't scary. EMTs sleeping at home aren't scary. Bird watchers aren't scary. Or shouldn't be.
People grow when they're uncomfortable. People perform better on tests when they're a little bit hungry.
