When we talk about police reform we need to talk about police training. Look at these statistics.

*We* have already been talking about this stuff for years. Our government is ignoring us. Talk to them.

Much lower crime rates especially top 10 largest cities within each country and a much smaller population. Talk about a misleading headline for an article . Next please

Except we train cops to kill people in this country, increasing the number of years we train cops to kill people isn’t going to change anything

You do realize the population of Norway vs the US? You also realize the demographics of Norway vs the US? You do realize the crime rate of Norway vs the US? I'm just curious if you are just spouting random facts or if you understand how ratio works.

One bad apple on an apple tree is pretty good number. Considering how many apples that tree has. 500 bad apples in an apple orchard is a pretty good number considering how many trees the orchard contains. This literally seems like simple statistics. How is this man a lawyer?

Abolition is the mission. Not reform. Not training.

Those countries have very low rates of violent crime to begin with.

Did you know police departments abuse intellectual property claims to avoid publishing their training materials when people request them? Should be public info.

Why do leftists constantly compare the US against Northern Europe? We share absolutely nothing in common with those countries. In terms of demography and culture, our closest cousins are Brazil and Mexico.

When we talk about police reform we need to stop talking about reform and start talking about abolition.
