I hate the protestor discourse. I don't trust them at all. They are religious, just under a different name. That being said, the pushing back of the police in Seattle is so wonderful it gives me goosebumps. I love the idea of more community control over their own safety.

So many of those make perfect sense, and the others are there to balance it out. Particularly 15 is scary ass shit... do they really want racist white local policing to flourish?

Only three words in and they make a historic/historical error. Not a good sign.

I don't exactly see it. There's a lot of stupid stuff in there, but more that would simply be doable and at least an improvement🤔

"18 - the body camera video of all Seattle police should be a matter of easily accessible public record." Yeah, what every victim of a violent crime wants is an easily publicly accessible video of their reaction afterwards. 😑
