You see somebody handcuffed and suffocated to death in the street or some mentally ill old lady getting her arm broke on the side of the road or some old man busting his head after being tased in his underwear standing in his own house. And it irks you. Then you hear we have the highest prison rates in the world and every few months some guy gets out of prison after years behind bars for being wrongfully convicted. And people start thinking about ways the system could be improved. And people try to make changes.
Blaming Obama, saying society is on its own and that those being paid to serve and protect will not be proactive and will do the bare minimum and getting right on board with that behavior is not an impressive set of solutions. Especially when the same group then complains about rising crime…
Well our job is to fight crime. But we are really not going to try. ZOMG look at the democrat crime wave…
While discussion of policing reforms is a part of the larger criminal justice reform conversation, we can't just consider them synonymous. There is a whole lot more nuance to it than that. Our prison population, for example, is more a product of the continued reliance upon slavery for the capitalist enterprises in this country than it is a result of police actions.
