George Floyd (II): Say His Name

[Day]

It's fine, there's been some overreach and some unworthy casualties, and there's nothing wrong with pointing them out.

At the same time, if you are in a situation that is at a 3/10 and you want to get it to a 7/10, if you freak out every time someone pushes it to 8 you're never going to get to your goal either. Eyes on the prize, don't lose sight of proportionality for absolutism, etc etc.

Yglesias posted a similar article yesterday, zooming in on what happened to David Shor.

how to turn seattle Red

[Jaybar]

Literally the next line said to remove some functions - not all.

Reading? Fuck that shit.

[archibaldcrane]

Sounds like a good plan, cops have to deal with too much bullshit they aren't properly trained or qualified for.

[Uzor]

I mean, reading that document all of it sounds good. Especially the part about identifying functions that the police department currently handles that would be better handled by other city departments. That would allow the police to focus on, you know, what they should focus on, rather than some of the bullshit they have to deal with that could be handled by others.

[Jaybar]

What was that story about EMT services arising from the police that didn't want to do it? Seemed like a win. Let's do it again.

LEFTISTS DONT WANT TO DEFUND THE POLICE!

ah shit

[Lucavi]

WHEN I SAY IT IN ALL CAPS IT REINFORCES MY POINT!

[Jaybar]

Boy those other things the 50 percent reduction are going towards are pretty good things. Too bad leftists really don't want to abolish the entire police department, though.

criminals love going to community led violence reducing activities. studies have shown these are highly effective.

[Jaybar]

Good thing there is still a police force to handle violent criminals.

Good God, he doesn't read, does he?

Doesn't read his own links but expects everyone else to read and reply ASAP

[Xno Kappa]

And they do.

Just has to get that win ASAP. Needs that rush in his veins. "I GOT EM THIS TIME!"

[Uzor]

Doesn't US corporations hate unions? But apparently police unions are a good thing? If anything that just reinforces the point why unions are good for employees. Those cops just can't get fired, and the union fucks over everyone else to protect them.

[Tymon]

Unions are almost universally fucking amazing for workers. From the perspective of the police the union is absolutely the best thing ever.

Unfortunately there's a large gap to bridge when your ordinary union duties consist of representation, fair wages, and termination protection vs. shielding murderers from prosecution, reinstating pedophiles, domestic violence offenders, etc.
