So I suppose you’re suggesting that there should be no police? If there’s no police then there’s no courts. So justice should just be served out by the people in mobs?

No. Nice try.

I am saying that Police need monumental institutional reform.

The only people who can reform cops, are cops. Departments all over the country communicate with other through trade shows, educational seminars, through the Police Union. They can reform themselves.

If they do not. If they cannot. They must be defunded until they do.

Internal reform is very hard to do. Leaders with conscience and vision must step up.

Or, we the citizens can just quietly take our occasional beating. You cool with that? Or are you only cool with that until the day something bad happens to you or to one of your loved ones? What will it take for you to have sympathy for the powerless?

I am a small government conservative. That view is incompatible for powerful cities wielding powerful unfettered Police. Do you disagree?
