I regret a lot of the pro-cop things I've said both here and on YouTube. I think the left takes the anti-cop thing too far more often than not but this is unquestionably a good thing. Good cops may be painted with the same brush as the bad ones but it's those bad cops who are to blame.

Not to be mean but what does that have to do with this topic?

Though, I question if trespassers, specifically, is better handled by a mental health professional.

It depends on the situation.

either, way, it seems that police reform is going better than some may make it out to be and I hope that is true.
