As an abolitionist I am skeptical about the value of any police reform. But this is still progress. And we get few wins in activism.

Some new regulations:

1. Pulling over drivers for mechanical issues is prohibited.

2. Smell of weed doesn’t justify stop-and-frisk.

3. If a cop sees another cop doing wrong and doesn’t intervene, they are as guilty as the offending cop.

Advocates are pressing for a bill that would remove marijuana odor as the basis for reasonable suspicion for a police investigation.

The author puts his bias on the table, and I’ll start with mine: I’m a lefty who thinks government is (at its best) how we collectively can & should tackle gnarly common problems & work to make the world a better place. It’s how we can protect the weak from the strong & give everyone an equitable chance. Gov’t is us.

This article hints at how to encourage a virtuous horseshoe effect: Admit when your “tribe” is wrong. Question groupthink. And listen.

reportedly never said that “…if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” But it’s useful to frame this question: What do we want to do? ? ? Hunt “bad guys?” ? Motorcade?

Realistically we need cops of some kind. starts with defining the role. Today they are asked to be everything & it’s no surprise they suck at important parts in that cuckoo scope of duties.

Jim Jordan Says It’s Not His Job to Stop ‘Evil’ Like Cops Killing Tyre Nichols

Easy for a middle-aged, white male with political clout to say. Once again, shows where the true evil lives: in his vile, venomous soul. No conscience. No guilt.
I’m still waiting for karma to catch up with him. There are few people more deserving of karmic retribution.
