How to Fix the Police

How to improve the police:

1. Make them work 12 hour or longer shifts everyday so they are exhausted.
2. Yell at them for hours on end telling them the are racist, worthless, garbage people.
3. Provoke them.  A little shove. Throw things at them.  Burn down their offices if you can.
4. Make them watch looters and vandals but don't allow them to do anything about it.
5. Provide no support from their superiors.  Make everything their fault.
6. Kill a few here and there for good measure.
7. Cut their funding.  Make them work more hours for less pay.

Result: Well-adjusted police!


Incidents of Police BrutalityToday - Unacceptable, but some things to think about
1. Provocation - See above.  We're in a situation where we are going to see the worst.  Why do the protesters crowd the police and barriers when there is plenty of space elsewhere?  Why didn't the police gas and beat tea party and anti-lockdown protesters?  It has a lot more to do with their behavior than their politics.
2. Quantity - How many cases are we seeing each day?  I'm guessing there are hundred of thousands of police on crowd control duty and a dozen incidents a day.
3. Editing - We may not be seeing the whole story

Defundinng the police
1. Withe fewer police, will the new social workers and whatnot be called on to handle riots an mass protests?
2. Comparison of police-caused deaths and violence against what's already in community - which is worse?  It's a no-brainer on the death count.
3. Let's put it to a vote in inner-city communities - you want fewer police and more social workers?

Will the same Democratic politicians who are presiding over the current mess be more successful now?  Why?
