It’s incredible that the coast guard can ID a small boat for drug runners and shoot it yet they cannot catch any of the gun runners taking guns to Haiti, mexico, etc. I’m sure there’s no reason for that.
This is not an uncle baby billy gimmick account; nonetheless, I hope you read all my tweets with uncle baby Billy’s accent.

Yeah, this is where “pragmatic” reformism stops being pragmatic. You can do all manner of reforms that are good on paper, but with impunity and without effective civilian control they don’t mean shit.

There is no viable police reform that doesn’t start with radically breaking the power of existing police departments. If you give them bias training they will simply shoot you in the scrotum with rubber bullets. They need prison. They need lawsuits. They need to lose their unions, pensions, homes.

During the 2020 BLM protests, San Jose Police, who had received deescalation / bias training, saw the trainer at a protest. They beat him so hard they exploded one of his testicles. You can do all the training in the world and they’ll just break your nuts if you ask them not to murder Black people.

We keep giving cops more money for training and it has not resulted in better cops. If you give them money and impunity you get the same result as if you just give them impunity.

This requires much larger municipal budgets. In addition to overcoming a well-funded chud paramilitary, you also have to significantly raise taxes. I support doing that, but that’s less practical.

They are better funded than any other city employees. If you compare salary to qualifications cops make way more than most other careers that don’t require degrees, and other public sector employees make way less than people with the same credentials.

Even if you passed a total gun ban tomorrow, there’d be guns in circulation for decades. But cops also beat up people in custody and choke unarmed people for minutes at a time. As long as they can use violence with impunity it doesn’t matter what other policies we enact.
Jamie Roberts (@jroberts548.bsky.social) reply parent
There will be work stoppages. Crime rates will go up. But the alternative is every city funding a fascist and/or chud paramilitary ready to brutalize the public.
Jamie Roberts (@jroberts548.bsky.social) reply parent
Every proposed reform was redirected into just giving cops more money and impunity. Every police union is 100% against any sort of legal accountability for cops. There is no path to reform that doesn’t involve breaking cop unions, which includes taking away their money.

Pritzker and Walz are probably the two most competitive, tolerable moderates. Maybe Beshear. I doubt left abstention is electorally significant, but those three are less alienating than Gavin. And Gavin is a Californian; like Harris, no matter how moderate he is he’ll lose swing voters.

I know getting dog-piled isn’t fun, but have you considered that every other fascist movement was also dominated by pseudoscientific quackery and eugenics? It’s not medieval and it’s not unusual for fascism. It’s specifically modern pseudoscience.
