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…

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.

So you think there should just be no law enforcement agencies at all?

No, what I'm saying is, we don't have law enforcement agencies now. They don't exist to enforce laws. That's not their real purpose. Incarcerating entire generations of ethnic minorities is not law enforcement. Armed occupation of cities isn't law enforcement.
