My question is what is the end goal of all of these protests? We all know that there will never be 0 deaths of unarmed people by cops. There are already very few deaths each year and there will always be some dick head cops. The media will never stop furthering the narrative that black folks are being hunted down by cops even though the stats do not show that. It's a catch 22 where you have to choose less policing and more crime or more policing and more bad run ins with cops.

You thought it was crazy a few years ago, the NFL is going to be a straight up political circus this season.
The owners will probably just cancel the National Anthem and remove all flags this season.
The pre-game is going to dominate the overall viewing experience for fans. Bring on the Baylor Bears 2020!!
I've been onboard with demilitarizing the police for a long time. Also, ending the drug war will help lower crime but as of now we have cartels and gangs on our streets that a lot of other countries do not have. I'll take a wait and see approach on this abolish police plan to see how it shakes out. As for now, I am damn glad i live in a nice, quiet, safe neighborhood with good police and low crime.Buddha Bear said:muddybrazos said:

Less policing doesnt mean more crimes. In the American scenario, more policing = more crimes right now. There are a lot of countries that are policing less, with less crime. The police's role needs a more defined scope. It needs better training to de-escalate situations. They need to return to a time where they didnt have miltary equipment. All we have to do is look at countries that do it better and adopt those practices. There are plenty of examples to choose from. America seems to love to re-invent the wheel when the obvious answers are sitting right in front of them.
Well he didnt do anything. I think they had an Asian or two and thats about it. Even the extras were white. That show had less color in it than Blazin Saddles.Jack Bauer said:

Andy Griffith Show is safe because Flip Conroy made an appearance in one episode in 1967.Osodecentx said:It isn't enough! These types should be driven from societyJack Bauer said:
