No police reform without union reform
https://www.spiked-online.com/20…Tl;dr -- Police unions have monopoly on providing municipalities
police services. In each contract the unions prescribe conditions to guarantee impunity for their cops.And these are not just unions, but borderline masonic orders of knighthood:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fr…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Po…"Police-union watchdog and advocacy group Campaign Zero lists six key ways that police unions prevent meaningful police reform through the collective bargaining agreements they negotiate for their members:
– Disqualifying misconduct complaints that are submitted too many days after an incident occurs or if an investigation takes too long to complete.
– Preventing police officers from being interrogated immediately after being involved in an incident or otherwise restricting how, when, or where they can be interrogated.
– Giving officers access to information that civilians do not get prior to being interrogated.
– Requiring cities pay costs related to police misconduct, including giving officers paid leave while under investigation, paying legal fees and/or the cost of settlements.
– Preventing information on past misconduct investigations from being recorded or retained in an officer’s personnel file.
– Limiting disciplinary consequences for officers or limiting the capacity of civilian oversight structures and/or the media to hold police accountable."In America the police is a corporate organization, which by virtue of laws, insurance, lawsuits, occupational hazard, workplace injuries etc, will do everything to save its ass from the court.
There won't be any reforms for this exact reason: you cannot disassemble an automatic assault rifle and use the same details to put together a sewing machine.
Add to the fact that there is a violence culture in the country and half of the people are carrying guns, there other half are ghetto gangs -- there simply cannot exist a different police.
- those "ghetto gangs" you refer to are a result of the assault on black communities in the 60s by police.imbecile
- "gangs" as they exist and are portrayed by the media are a result of that police militarization.imbecile

- did you miss ""gangs" as they exist and are portrayed by the media" so no, because COPS and the evening news has no concern for irish, asian, etc gangsimbecile
