An example of a disbanded police force (due largely to corruption and inefficiency):
Quote:
The city, home to a population about 17% of Minneapolis' size, dissolved its police department in 2012 and replaced it with an entirely new one after corruption rendered the existing agency unfixable. Before its police reforms, Camden was routinely named one of the most violent cities in the US. Now, seven years after the old department was booted (though around 100 officers were rehired), the city's crime has dropped by close to half. Officers host outdoor parties for residents and knock on doors to introduce themselves. It's a radically different Camden than it was even a decade ago. Here's how they did it.
What you have now in MN is a situation where time is a pressure and politics is a pressure. So I worry about rushing and not thinking shit through. I worry that simply because it's beyond community focus it won't be built with community focus.
Many point to the turning point of police being a change in metrics. Quotas as we would know them. Residents say before then there was often alot of community out reach, fostering good relations, getting to know the people, and actually working to prevent crime and hatred.
What happens when any american entity rushes to restructure a thing? Well they set it up to judge success by metrics that may or may not reflect the actual value of the service.

Also since people tend to focus so much on all the negative... talking with friends last night I say we're lucky we haven't had a Kent state or a Boston Massacre.
I am very proud of many of the cities officials across the country that ultimately decided to give protesters their time and space and reign their police in.
I am also proud of emergency services being able to respond to medical and fire emergencies by way of both protesters and police to keep things from being worse than they very well could be.
I'm glad that no one straight gave up social order when it counts despite thousands of people blocking the streets, getting rather rowdy in some cases, and I'm proud that for the most part people make way for EMTs and fire to do their jobs.
Up to this point, all things considered, yall are having a pretty nice revolution, America.

Quote:
Video filmed by a “Live PD” crew of an in-custody death of a black man last year has been destroyed and can no longer be turned over to Austin investigators, representatives of the reality TV show said Tuesday.
The disclosure by A&E Networks came a day after the Austin American-Statesman and KVUE-TV first reported details of the March 2019 death of Javier Ambler while being arrested by Williamson County sheriff’s deputies in connection with a traffic violation. The Austin American-Statesman is part of the USA TODAY Network.
A&E confirmed Tuesday that “video of the tragic death of Javier Ambler was captured by body cams worn on the officers involved as well by the producers of Live PD who were riding with certain officers involved.”
It said that the incident did not occur while the show was airing live and that the video was not broadcast later.
A&E’s statement said that Austin investigators had not asked for the video or to interview show producers. “As is the case with all footage taken by Live PD producers, we no longer retained the unaired footage after learning that the investigation had concluded,” the network said in a statement.

Shawn King is to be doubted.
Believing anything he says is probably not an intelligent move.
What’s next? Tariq Nasheed tweets?

Note the poster doubling down on ad hominem rather than, again, acknowledge that the tweet linked to another source and to address that
personally did not even pay attention to what he said clicked Canna's link, clicked the news story he commented on and read that

I know what it means. If I can’t poke fun at myself then I can’t poke fun at anybody else.
So how’s your garden going in the autonomous zone?

Calling me a child is flaming. It’s also gaslighting.
