The Overton Window is as far left as it ever has been such that drug possession is becoming more decriminalized, sentencing and bail reforms have recently passed, and body cameras are more prevalent than ever before.
Reduced policing in Baltimore after Freddy Gray's death has led to more than 100 extra murders of black men per year.
- spamizbad 6y agoBaltimore police have willfully chosen to disengage with community policing. There was no real “reduction in policing”. Their budget has also risen by about $60 million since Freddy Gray. No real change in department culture other than low officer morale. This is an example of the more “moderate” police reform in action: no fundamental change to police structure, just some new training and procedures. It didnt work. Officers hate it so they pouted and disengaged.
