the more outright hatred, disgust, and vitriol that we can shame/shun the police with in public, the closer we'll be to police reform-- the police feel intimidated and scared by a public that treats them poorly, and they will adjust accordingly.
alternatively, we could continue with the "be beaten then do nothing" approach, which has failed so far.
- mordocai 10y agoFor at least some time, the police are likely to adjust by being more violent not less I imagine. Though you are right, in the end it'll probably even out to some positive changes.
- jes 10y agoI have never found subjecting other people to hatred, disgust and vitriol to be effective in inducing them to change in a positive way. Why do you assume there are only two options in dealing with the police?
- DanBC 10y agoThat sounds like a fucking stupid way to change someone's behaviour.
