genuinely curious
has anyone advocating that we #AbolishPrisons bitten the bullet on what theyd do with Derek Chauvin
Seems like you could get to that with less downside with "differently structured criminal justice system and also not these dumb laws"?

You could if they were totally separate things. Like most of these things all a weird ball of intertangled mud going back to the first cops being geoipa of people paid as a group to track down slaves and return them because they were property. Cops and prisons and laws a thread

But if you wanna leave all the aggro bros that have been force fed the image of the Dangerous Other and been given weapons wo accountability to keep good ppl safe from evil and get rid of most the laws they enforce - we can start there too! Different directions, sameish goals...

I mean I think the abolish/reform distinction is mostly a mcguffin anyway—actual ideas for this stuff have huge phased plans executed over years, starting with a lot of the low hanging fruit like nonviolent drug crimes anyway was the ship of theseus abolished? or reformed?

or kinda resembles the tech panacea of "build in parallel and swap out" model of change
