lol. There isn't. You jumped on the lamest hype train in the history of the USA. Black deaths by cop, for instance, is statistically inconsequential. You're in the same league of someone complaining that Bees killing humans is a problem that must be addressed (cops killed people 5 times more than bees did fyi)..What needs to be addressed is black people kill more black people than any other race in the USA, and only represent 14% of the population. THAT is what needs to be addressed but its too difficult because it means a lot of people are going to have to do some soul searching and come to terms with how they and their communities behave.

..And they won't..because its not the easy way out. Your way. Thats the easy way out thus the most popular choice.

We get it. You are correct. Now what does that have to do with fixing these cops?

Is it within the realm of possibility that we may have 2 problems? Tyrannical police and destroyed black families?

That would involve cutting the amount of money we give to cops who really have no purpose and reinvesting it in those communities.

I’m going to give the author the benefit of the doubt in this instance but then again, my family, friends, and I tend to be law abiding citizens that respect and obey orders from law enforcement officers

It’s almost comical that the right takes the exact opposite stance on cops that they do on teachers. Explains priorities I suppose.

Yes..... we need to fix both..... we definitely need to change some of the laws and definitely how they are trained.

No. The USA has been investing in these communities for decades...Companies have tried to move into those communities and get run off. Why? Property values go up. What does that mean? Property taxes go up. So Whole Foods can't come in. Neighborhood complains again about no one investing in them. Problem? Them.




**Whole foods scenario is a real one**

We have tyrannical police like we have rabid gangs of pitbulls roaming the burbs. Do they both exist? Yes. Are they both problems? Sure. Are they deserving of national outrage and lunacy and wanton destruction? No.

Can cops always get better? Sure. Can black communities improve? Absolutely. Each go hand in hand in improving society.

Why do low crime White have lesser amounts of police incidents? Answer that and know the solution to your problem.

The comical part is you somehow thinking they are related.

This isn't the matrix. Thats not how teaching/learning works. Effort required on both fronts.

Cops suck and teachers suck worse?

Most teachers just want to go to work, teach their kids, and go home to do the mountains of paperwork they have left over after they get done with the official school day. By the way, the soccer moms and nascar dads are the worst about claiming little Johnny should have got an "A" even though he never did his homework. They really dont have an agenda other than let them do their job and pay them fairly for it.

Hmmm…. now that is an interesting perspective. Can you go into more detail? Because it sounds like there it is a punitive consequence (higher taxes) for having a neighborhood improve. Or am I reading that incorrectly?

Not sure what you are asking. BTW, my solutionis probably the same as yours, but the implementation or how to do it is the main issue with my idea about the matter.

I'm a conservative, middle class white man, but I'm pretty much to the point that I'll take that trade.

I won't call the cops if they don't exist, and if they don't exist, they can never bust into my house with a no-knock warrant and shoot my wife, kids, or me in the face for sleeping in our own home. If they don't exist, they don't have the authority and arms to make a human shield against potential rescuers as one of their own slowly murders someone over an excruciating nine minute timeline.

I live in the country, on an unpaved rural road, among neighbors that I trust who are as well armed as I am, and pretty much just as self-sufficient (or shall we say, neighborly-sufficient). Each of us own lots of well wooded property where we can bury the interlopers that the police would have had to respond to.

I'm just about fed up with the current state of our entire justice system that I'll accept their exit and give self-governance and the politeness of a well armed society a chance.

Fix this **** or burn it.
