I’m not a twitter activist. I’m active in my community and actively working to “buy back the block.” What about you?what are you and all the other twitter activist doing for the cause?
See, this is another issue. Ever wonder what exactly these guys plan on replacing the current police with. This is just another smoke and mirrors trap to divert the conversation into police reform led by the government-another co-opt.

Police don’t show up until after crimes have taken placeIt won't be smoke and mirrors when these cities completely do away w/their police departments

That is combating police brutality. Police brutality is a symptom of black disenfranchisement and discrimination.I’m talking about the cause of police brutality
Police don’t show up until after crimes have taken place
NYPD protests every other year by refusing to do their job (writing tickets, minor arrests, etc) and crime goes down every single time, which proves the point they’re mostly there just to ruin people’s day not stop crime
Exactly which is why these cities are gonna consider defunding and dismantling, and some are gonna do itPolice don’t show up until after crimes have taken place

That’s up for the people who are calling for police to be dismantled to figure outAnd replaced with what?
That's why its smoke and mirrors.

I’m not about wasting time and resources “educating“ grown men and women (i.e. the police) who are paid to know better. The system needs to be rebuilt so it is no longer a job for high school dropouts and dumb people looking for a way to make $75k a year.
I think they do need to disband police depts. and rebuild them. The current judge/jury/executioner authority psuedo mini military shyt is why we are in the place we are in now. No other public servants are killing innocent citizens. Postman aint, firemen aint.
I’m sure there are more qualified people working on this than myself. But retiring out old cops, immediately firing cops who have records of abuse, discrimination and misconduct, raising the academic, social and behavioral standards to enter the academy, and diverting future resources for military gear into community investments would be a start.And what’s the plan for this?
But let’s deal with the fact that cities are the ones that ultimately control police.I’m sure there are more qualified people working on this than myself.
