    Critical Resistance‏ @C_Resistance 4 Jun 2020

    Many reforms & strategies to fight policing are circulating right now, some are AMAZING like #DefundPolice; others, like #8cantwait, want to improve policing's war on us. When in doubt, ask our chart questions, inspired by @prisonculture. The goal is abolition. We fight to win.pic.twitter.com/arDbFJhj8u

        thank you! No more trying to work within the system to fix this! Its funny how all the politicians jumped on board with that #8cantwait... we need to resist that attempt to pacify us with policies that maintain the status quo

        It might be worth highlighting that many of the cities where we are seeing the worst acts of police violence right now have a vast majority of the reforms #8cantwait calls for. For instance, Philly has 7/8 and it gassed protestors against a wall on Tuesday

        What about certain combinations? For example, I think having more training is a good idea (especially if they aren't taught things like race realism and are taught things such as conflict resolution) - in combination with reducing police size and allowing prosecution is the way.

        Police abolition steps are mostly "Yes" by same metrics. Policy ideas include: requiring cops to be liable for misconduct settlements, ending militarization programs, and withholding pensions for cops who use excessive force. http://criticalresistance.org/abolish-policing/ … pic.twitter.com/aMMkJqiEk3

        Okay, I've seen a number of people on social media share this #8cantwait campaign. I wanted to put my thoughts (and those of others) together to explain why this campaign is a bad idea. I want to first start by addressing each of the 8 policies. (Bear with me, thread follows) pic.twitter.com/ioOAORIqtT

        Are there any examples of an urban area or large community (a county for ex) that has implemented abolition of prisons/jails/police? Is their data showing the effects? Crime statistics? Data showing improvements in areas of economic, health, etc ?
