What do we do about these motherfucking cops in this country?

52. If you think its only a cop problem you're wrong.

If someone dials 911 or a non-emergency number, the police have no choice but to respond.

If someone calls to complain that there is a suspicious 'person' in their neighborhood, they have to go. In my experience as a dispatcher, suspicious 'people' are more often than not, people of color. This type of public complaint takes many forms. The point being, if the agency is called to investigate a complaint, they don't have a choice, they have to go. Problem one is racism in the community.

When I suggested to the local liberals here that when planning their Republican National Convention protests that they actually coordinate their peaceful protests WITH the local agency, I was laughed out of the thread. Everyone has every right to peacefully protest, however your protests also must be legal. Problem two is refusing to work with the local agency.

Many communities have set up civilian review boards. They have worked well in the past.

There are many other ways to provide feedback to your local agency. One other poster suggested becoming a cop, also not a bad idea, but that idea would require you to work with people that hate you all day.
