The job is not impossible to do well and with honor. Trouble is, we allow crappy people to be cops and stay cops long after they have shown themselves to be crappy. That's one problem. Another is that your income has a great deal to do with how you come out of trouble with the law. This dysfunction and inequality perpetuated by racism and the war on drugs has brought us to this point. I suppose it's just difficult for you to envision a non-authoritarian approach to public safety.The answer is to make the police subject to the same laws they put poor people in jail for. Anything less and we are consenting to live in a police state.Tell me how those questionable figures are any comfort when someone you love gets murdered or simply just fucked-over by the police and you know they will never be made to account for it? Simply blaming the victim as you do makes you part of the problem.Law enforcement does not "destroy people" all the time. In a society of over 300 million people and the thousands of calls officers respond to each year only about 400 result in the use of force. Out of those less than half are fatal. Over half are white people. Almost all the shootings justified. There is no widespread police "misconduct." You want a communist revolution and are using the false narrative of police brutality to riot, burn, loot, and steal.The cops have no right to destroy people with impunity but they do it all the time. Since civil unrest is the only way to get action on police misconduct that is what happens. It does not have to be that way but "law and order" hypocrites insist on it. Protests will continue.
So the answer is to not police, let criminals do what they want, so there is zero risk of anything happening to them when they are arrested, because arrests wouldn't exist...
Or we replace police with robots.
That's idiotic because we don't ask poor people to arrest criminals. Police have to have certain immunities in doing their job or the job becomes impossible.
Explain to me your perfect system of policing.
Nice dodge. When you bring up concepts like honor, and avoid talking about nuts and bolts, you admit you don't have an answer, you just want to bitch about things.
All of this to ignore the fact that some people are criminal assholes and have to be separated from society so we don't fucking kill them.
When they resist said separation, all of a sudden you idiots think it's a question of just telling them to calm down and submit.
No one at this address had done anything illegal or had harmed anyone.
The police harmed the people at this address, first by scaring them with a battering ram to the door, and second by illegally shooting wildly through the door and wall.
