There’s something inherently & fundamentally flawed about our system of policing in the United States. Police are not being trained to “keep the peace,” but to act as though they’re practically an occupying army. The system should be demolished and replaced.

There were 4 cops there. They couldn’t tackle him? They couldn’t tase him? Their only “choice” was too shoot an unarmed man in the back 7 times? I don’t want to hear about improving sensitivity training or hiring guidelines. That should have already been implemented.

They are an occupying military.

The flaw is thinking they serve & protect the common citizens. The US police are tasked with protecting the gluttonous rich from the poors. They are there to keep us oppressed, through unjust laws and biased policing. They are in fact a band of mercenaries for the feudal lords.

Yes! Had you run on "the system should be demolished and replaced" I'm quite sure you would have won.

*from Battlestar Galactica ps: Some of us see some parallels between you and President Laura Roslin by the way not this scene but in general ^-^ wish you had time to watch the 00s remake suprisingly profound and spiritual ending. You'd love it.

So you're saying #AbolishThePolice damn I should have taken your campaign more serious.

Their definition of "peace" is "order and quiet," is all They don't care if you're happy or sad; all they care about is that either way you're too cowed to make a fuss about it That's always been their mission. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

IMO the main cause of crime is inequality (especially wealth inequality) the police should be replaced with wealth redistribution

They need to stop police from carrying guns. Like in other countries. Only way to stop this madness.
