Beautifully written and well-argued. My favorite line? "This isn’t about 'bad apples.' This is about the orchard." I am tired of being sold police reform when what we need is police abolition. Anything a cop does poorly (or not at all) can be done better by others. We keep us safe.
Until we get civillian review of police violence we are going to see this again and again. Cops never are willing to stop their violent brethren from preying on the community.
