The very idea of a "cop city" in the US is chilling. Why this $90M facility when we already have so much evidence of police overreach? Why give more power to a system that clearly needs reform? And we need an investigation into what happened to Teran. theguardian.com/us-news/2023…

Nobody said we should coddle criminals. But someone stopped for a traffic violation and then shot by the police was not someone who "criminally hurt others." The criminal is that case was the police! We should be adult enough to realize we have a problem. #PoliceReformNow

In the history of policing in the US, the "system" has never functioned without corruption. It's a system that can't be reformed.

Well, it needs to be. Just saying "it can't be" amounts to nothing but acquiescence to the system as it is.

People think police need more training to allow for ways to disarm people safely. 3 police agencies come together to save taxpayer money by consolidating training facilities which results in it being larger & generate income by charging other police. theintercept.com/2021/08/11/…

It's a training facility. Don't we need police to be better trained? There's no pleasing you people.
