I don't know about the discussion, but what I'm taking away from the article is actually what policing could be if the shield of immunity that fuels the "shoot first, ask questions later" attitude is taken away.
- flandish 4y agoFor sure - but any cohort that’s capable of escalation will escalate on a long enough timeline. Police are more and more “mini militaries” (I am sure there are cities with more $ in police than some nations have in military $) I think social services, crisis intervention, and mental health/drug help will benefit more and for longer. That, though, goes against another deep seeded inherent “bonus” to keeping homeless homeless, addicts addicted, and police forces of all styles (pub/priv) in action: Those “homeless” types scare an entire low/middle class of labor into accepting any wage no matter how exploitative, out of a fear if becoming one of “them.”
