For people against the concept of police, what do you see replacing it?
Privatized security forces? Community members/ local militia? A more limited public police force? National guard?
- say_it_as_it_is 5y agoI think the majority of activists think that recording abuse on their cell phones and sharing it on social media will protect them
- MrRadar 5y agoI think most activists recognize there will still need to be people authorized to use violence in certain circumstances, they just want to minimize the number of those people and make them more accountable. Most of the proposals I've seen call for the creation of a public safety department whose employees would not be authorized to use force and who could be sent to deal with situations where violence is not necessary (such as, say, a person trying to pass a counterfeit $20 bill, like George Floyd was doing when the police were called on him).
