I know it's technically an outlier, but cases like this make one consider that maybe the institution itself does more harm than good, and whether "reform" is too mild a choice. Dragonball Fan, stay out of this thread.

DragonBall Fan doesn't get involved with other threads that doesn't involve him.
I got nothing to say here.

Not a fan of the news source? I grabbed the first one I saw on the subject and you can feel free to post one from your non-paywalled news source of choice covering the event.

No, I'm simply speechless after having read that.

Shit like this is why I've become a police abolitionist because you can't reform this shit.
Re: Four children arrested for not stopping a fight
I had to stop partway through the third chapter on this mess. WTF?
For starters we teach children to not get involved in fights even to break them up. I know I was sent to the principal's office for that when I was seven. You can't teach do not get involved then punish someone for not getting involved.

Well, of course we can. Just not with consistency or rationality.

Police abolitionist? As in, you think that we should have no police at all or have you just picked a word that you don't really know the meaning of?Draco Dracul wrote: ↑Mon Oct 11, 2021 5:32 pm Shit like this is why I've become a police abolitionist because you can't reform this shit.
In either case, perhaps you should look up what the world looked like before the police were invented. Does Mad Max mean anything to you?
