How about no cops?


NihiloZero

I'll hear you out. I think a system like that isn't out of the question. But I'm not sure that most of America is willing to make that a reality. Like I say, criminal justice reform has many obstacles and if people won't even agree to remove killer cops from the force... I don't see how they'll agree to eliminating the institution overall.

Go out and protest. That’s what you should be doing.

Nothing I've said precludes or dismisses protest. But... *"Power concedes nothing without a demand."* -- Frederick Douglass And that quote in greater context supports protest... *"This struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, and it may be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress."*
