hey you know what makes me afraid for the future? the fact that most people who become police officers from now on definitely saw all the bullshit that we tried to call out and put a stop to and they’ll still become a police officer. They’ll see the discrimination and the brutality and they’ll go ‘i’m fine with that’ and they’ll become a cop. There’s no way you go into this blind. We’re all on the internet and that’s made it impossible not to hear the rally cries. I want to believe many police officers who just wanted to serve the public and protect people. The job may be shit but I’d like to believe the people are good. Still, I can’t imagine anyone from this generation going into it for any of the right reasons. They heard us scream for justice and scream for our lives and they will be happy to ignore us.

Evidence shows that better training doesn't lead to better officers. It is a persistent myth and narrative that prevents real, necessary reform when it comes to policing and public safety.

“But if we defund the police who will protect us?” “But if we have no police who will you call when your in danger?” “We need police to keep us safe”
No, fuck you
I had to call 911 while I was at work (I’m a hotel concierge) and the woman who I’m calling to have removed is standing across from me screaming at me while I try and speak to the operator. By the time the police arrive (45+ mins later) I’ve managed to get the woman to leave (after she spent 30+ mins screaming at me and harassing guest) and after I told the cop he goes “cool, it all worked out!” I spent almost an hour shaking and had to lock the doors early.
I’ve had to call cops to come “deescalate ” situations several times and they have NEVER helped the situation, not once.
Once or twice a month a cruiser will come sit in the parking lot for about 5 hours and give ticket after ticket all day.
Defund police because they aren’t providing a useful service, defund police because they don’t arrive quick enough to actually do something and when they do they make the situation worse, defund police because they only put effort in their job is when they need to meet a quota, defund police because when I comes to MY SAFTEY it will ALWAYS be in MY HANDS!
Defund the police because when your calling as a person of colour you shouldn’t have to hope you get a “good cop” defund the police because I will NEVER call them when I’m having an issue with a black man because whatever he’s doing won’t be worth his death.
DEFUND THE FUCKING POLICE BECAUSE ITS A SYSTEM THAT WAS PUT IN PLACE TO PROTECT PRIVILEGED PEOPLE AND PRIVILEGED PEOPLE ONLY!! AND EVEN NOW IT BARELY DOES THAT!!

Let me just refocus one more time and say: defunding the police is good policy. We all know that what it actually means is “don’t spend money on cops to solve social problems that they can’t solve—spend that money in ways that can actually address these complex problems.” Don’t throw a bunch of people trained as killer soldiers out into poor and desperate communities and expect them to fix things. Instead of pouring money into soldier cops with guns, a policy impulse rooted purely in fear and ignorance, pour that same money into education and mental health and economic development and affordable housing and all of the other things that can mitigate poverty and legitimately strengthen communities and improve the lives of needy people. Anyone who does not agree with this basic proposition is, I’m afraid, either a bigot or a callous selfish person or someone with a profound ignorance about the causes and effects of things in society. Moving public money away from methods that don’t work (and actively cause harm) and into methods that work better is common sense. This is the substance of defunding the police. Most everyone on the left side of the political spectrum who is operating in good faith will agree with this overall premise. The Democrats just weren’t willing to expend a single iota of political capital for it. They just gave up. They just didn’t bother. It was easier to throw the entire BLM movement under the bus than to have an honest conversation about these things with a public that might be hostile.

All bad apples. #abolishthepolice #Repost @callmeshivy with @use.repost ・・・ I am just heartbroken by this one. Keenan Anderson was somebody’s high school ENGLISH TEACHER!? A DAMN TEACHER… and TASED him to death!? This man flagged down officers for help following his involvement in a CAR ACCIDENT!? And what did he get??? An overzealous and egotistical cop that triggered events that would steal his life. NOTHING has improved since 2020! We STILL have NOT realized NATIONAL police reform! STILL. This time… we lost a TEACHER because of inaction. #justiceforkeenananderson #keenananderson #blacklivesmatter #sayhisname #defundthepolice #lapd #policebrutality #policemurder #police #racism #acab #policeviolence https://www.instagram.com/p/CnXA0JAOSg-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

His name is Daniel Penny.
Thanks
@DailyMail (never thought I would say that) but let’s not forget or forgive media and news outlets already knew the name of Jordan Neely’s killer and protected him and they made sure to list the murder victim’s past arrests and mental issues so disrespectfully FUCK the media
