Reform.
Fuck that. No. Abolish.
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 makes no sense. Cops are humans not machines, and humans are invariably different.
That response makes no sense. It doesn't matter who a cop is, when they're employed as a cop their duties come first.
You're looking at this very one sided. Life isn't black and white.
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.
We're just gonna have to disagree about this my guy.
Which part of it? I said a couple of things there. Surely you don't disagree about the US constitution expressly permitting slavery and the US prison system largely being exactly that?
Out of curiosity, can you cite where the US constitution allows for slavery?
Thirteenth amendment:
Thank you I did not know this. This makes me kinda depressed ngl.
Saaaaaaaaaaaaame.
To quote Run The Jewels:
I hadn't yet acknowledged the part about the prison system so take your guess. However I am aware that the US prison system sucks a pair of dicks.
As someone with almost literally an actual bag of silicone dicks (seriously I just need to transfer them from individual bags into a larger communal bag), I'd say it's quite a bit worse than that.
Ok

Start with decimation first.
