Progress is not linear. It does not start and end within a decadal snippet

It’s the right idea but the swine have a propaganda machine like few others in the entire country, and mfs who live in the suburbs think that if the cops didn’t have tanks, downtown would become a dystopian anarchic wasteland

Okay and what policies does that entail And how many of those got enacted at any scale like any city above 500k

It’s as simple as not militarizing the police like has been done for the past half century and properly training them on both the law and de-escalation. As it stands right now American police are the least qualified across the board while simultaneously carrying enough firepower to end dozens of lives at a time

Not to mention IQ caps and organized crime in American policing
