Here’s an actual adult idea: -Stop funding war training & purchase of war vehic. & equip -insist on de-escalation training -stop negotiating w/ the union & tell them what’s expected -hold accountable through laws that no one’s above the law This defund the popo shit is garbage

Maybe he’s advocating for $100,000 in deescalation training per officer? I think some could use it sooooo

The two officers that pushed a 75 year old man over in Buffalo? Students who went through a college sociology program. Your country is dealing with protests over enough "outliers" to build a wall of rememberance. Maybe you should think twice about repeating that tired argument.

Hence the above comment about them needing more training. I said nothing about current officers being well trained.

...And you're missing the point. Some of the most egregious abuses of power being recorded right now are out of departments that HAVE training and required college programs meant to teach them ethics and perspective. A system that empowers abusers is going to attract abusers.

You’re missing my point — that those “requirements” are not enough. Less money should be spent on militarized equipment and more should be spent on training officers. Again, at no point did I say current training is adequate.

Again... stop talking and actually read what I said. THEY HAVE TRAINING. THEY DON'T CARE. MORE TRAINING WILL NOT MAKE THEM CARE MORE. Dear god, if all of this does one thing, I would really like white folk to stop lecturing me as an educator on what education can do.
