> OP doesn't read like troll OR hyperbole Really? And how do you figure that? They literally opened with "There won't be any consequences, because the police never face any consequences." The entire planet can name at least one instance of a cop facing consequences for their behavior. "There's no way to reform modern policing" is a strong assertion without very much to support it. > That's a high bar and an unreasonable threshold to speaking out. No, it isn't. _All_ systems are subject to abuse by bad actors. _No_ system is perfect. There are only trade-offs. If you have no alternative solution it means you haven't considered the trade-offs, and if you haven't considered the trade-offs, you haven't actually spent time thinking about the problem. It's easy to point fingers at what sucks. Everybody can do it, and everybody is doing it. If you're here on Hacker News, which is supposed to be a place for interesting conversation, I expect that you're going to do better than that.
