    With all the shit that's going down, is there a better solution?

    Is it racist cops that are the issue? maybe, but there are tons of black cops who are just as brutal as we saw in the Atlanta video.

    Is it the Police chiefs? bad hiring? Is it just the nature of people who want to be cops? working out issues they had in highschool?

    What country has an exemplary police force? and what does that mean? no violence? no arrests? more community involvement?

    Does it hinder on a peaceful, orderly law-abiding society? is America just too unruly?

    Can we function as a society without a police force?

    • I don't think you could ever call America a peaceful, orderly, law-abiding society. Is any country?Ianbolton
    • We don't need to answer all these questions to make a massive improvement. The solution is actually pretty simple.nb
    • 1. Nationwide rules of misconduct
      2. Fire cops who break rules
      3. Prosecute officers the same way we do every one else. Equal playing field.      nb
    • If a cop walked into a bank and robbed it, we'd send them to jail. It should be no different for assault, for abuse, for using a weapon.nb
    • Some cases will be hard to prosecute, it won't be perfect. But cops are getting away with murder. Cops must be made to fear the consequences of their actions.nb
    • ^ This won't solve all our problems with the police, but it will make the biggest difference with relatively minimal effort.nb

    • Japan comes to mind. They seem to do things there a little differently. Seems like there is more order, more respect, citizens take the onus upon themselves to_niko
    • ...live in a just and safe society. We need to do things because we want to, because it's right for our fellow human beings not because a higher power says so_niko
    • The ability to legally abuse people just needs to be taken away. The line is so wide barely any cop ever ends up crossing it.ben_
    • not because the authorities or the government say so, because once they're out of sight we think we're free to act however we want to._niko
    • it's like the story of towns that removed stop signs, once the onus was on the citizens to watch out for one another, accidents went down drastically._niko
