Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
I don't think i get why people hate cops. I live in a country with a great deal of police violence that is not the united states.
We won't be better without the police, not having police won't solve our violence or our crime rate. Having better social programs, and better investment in education will.
I've heard it called a luxury issue by some. As in an issue that privileged people take up because they already have the privilege of safety and order.
I mean yeah cops disproportionately target certain groups of people. Their training sucks and has the added bonus of making them trigger happy schizos who see crime and offence where it doesn't exist. But also I think it's pretty obvious that there needs to be some sort of law enforcement/peace keeping group.
Police reform? I can get behind that. Abolishing police? Sounds kinda dumb.
