        So we can go back to the wild West but with machine guns? No thanks. Abolishing it won’t stop those same assholes from existing they’ll just move to different forms of torment, but a reform will allow the uncorrupted cops to stay and the bigoted to be removed.

          “Uncorrupted cops” is an oxymoron. As soon as anyone becomes a cop, their personal merits no longer matter.

              That response makes no sense. It doesn’t matter who a cop is, when they’re employed as a cop their duties come first.

                  I used to work with public safety IT, from keeping 911 dispatch working all the way down to fixing squad car laptops. I have personally been on multiple sides of this issue from perspectives most don’t have.

                  All cops are bad. Period.

                  The US prison system is literal slavery, expressly allowed to be so by the US constitution. It needs to be abolished.
