A Brief Question About The Police

Follow me on Instagram: @michaeldavidmodern

We have given police tremendous power in this society. If we can’t count on them to stop a mass shooter FOR AN HOUR after they arrive on the scene, why should we let them keep the power to harass us over bullshit like speeding and drugs?  

The Uvalde event does not stand alone. There are countless instances that show that the police far too often FAIL in the situations that are cited as the justification for their power. We need an entirely new theory and structure of law enforcement in America. I think it would be revolutionary progress if all cops were women  

We can’t have a world without law enforcement. There are a lot of dangerous people out there. But the fact is, cops as they are make the world MORE dangerous, not safer. Our problems with crime and violence in this country aren’t just attributable to criminals. Cops and criminals function together to create this crisis.
