The NYPD is skulking through the L train demanding IDs from Black and Latino men, again with zero justified cause or explanation as to why.

    If I was mayor of NYC, I would eliminate the budget to all existing departments, then create new departments with a fresh budget. The initial budget is for importing officers and administrators from Europe, sourced from nations that put them through a rigorous training academy that emphasizes deescalation and following laws. No existing personnel from the ranks of America’s police would ever be hired.

    Far as I am concerned, the police in America are a mafia, not keepers of peace. They have to be rooted out completely, if that is to change.

      They own the law though, so no lawful process can oppose them meaningfully.

      Im afraid they have takrn all the peaceful options, unless you consider ‘be crushed and die by the millions’ peaceful, off the fucking table.
