just strikes me as soft racism
Oh the police just need better education, training, wages and xyz doesn't cut it... yes it is part of the issue but it doesn't scratch the surface to rooting out racism and police brutality
I don't think the police shouldn't exist but their funding, militarization, and function needs to drastically change. The fact that the NYPD has a 6 billion dollar budget is completely unacceptable.
The criminal justice as whole needs a top down revamp.
I feel as though saying better define policing roles is a code for the police shouldn't be doing X Y and Z cause they shouldn't be doing those and funds should be diverted to those things
