Counter counter option: Not all districts are created equally. We know from history that some districts have become so corrupt that the feds had to step in and replace entire police forces.
I suspect police abuse is not as wide-spread as we've been led to believe by social justice marketing, but I'm open to evidence to the contrary. Let's put our engineers to work and get the costs of these camera systems way down, and then let's put them on every cop in the nation. It's not just the BLM folks talking about this, the MRAs also have claims about things like men who are physically abused by women, cop shows up, arrests the man anyways, and those sorts of stories. One way or the other we can put a number of social justice issues to rest.
- forapurpose 9y ago> social justice marketing ... not just the BLM folks ... It doesn't sound like you are "open to evidence to the contrary". Those words seem to dismiss such evidence.
- weberc2 9y agoSkepticism is merited after a certain volume of debunked claims.
- forapurpose 9y agoPartisans always 'debunk' every claim made that disagrees with them. It's not a meaningful signal.
- weberc2 9y ago1. As a point of clarification, I'm not partisan, nor are the sources I had in mind. 2. There's a distinction between "debunked" and "claimed to be debunked"; you're conflating my meaning (the former) with the latter. If you did mean the former, then you're questioning all empiricism and objectivity, in which case we have no basis for discussion or reason and we may as well stop now.
