Are you really not sure? Because “police reform” is the most obvious thought ever.

Yeah, totally shocking that an issue clearly upsetting the whole country wouldn’t be magically solved by arresting some individual officers and changing nothing else about what led to his death.

Again, that should be obvious to a small child, and if you stopped aggressively covering your ears for a second, I think you know the same thing

I don't disagree that there needs to be better training within our state and local police around the country, with an emphasis on highly publicized cases on what you do and don't do, actions to be taken once one is in custody. And I'm sure they do, but I don't know what type of continuing training/education/hot topic discussions are promoted or required after they graduate from the academy. What are your suggestions for police reform? These officers, will go to prison, they were wrong. I don't disagree with protests. I do disagree with defending the riots and behavior that destroyed businesses/personal property, took (black and white) lives of people within their own community and it's not even discussed or acknowledged among leaders of the black community. It's almost like, "okay, game on! That's how they want it, that's how they get it!", and proceed to attack everybody physically and verbally that had ZERO to do with George Floyd's death. Wtf kind of rationale is that? Talk about covering your eyes and ears...

Come on now, you have to acknowledge that 90% of the interaction that the police have with with the public is from writing them tickets don't you? They tax first, protect when they feel like it.

90% is too high a number. Mid size to larger agencies can answer about 100k-300k CFS a year

I heard about this today and couldn’t believe it at first. Thought it was a joke. But no, they want to cancel a cartoon about dogs.

We’re entering a dark time where condemning a group based on the actions of an extreme few is becoming more accepted and practiced.
