To End Racism and Police Brutality, End Capitalism!

215. The author has some good points but...

Peacekeepers will always be necessary mental illness, greed, power, control, narcissism, these causes of crime are not due to scarcity.

Reducing police violence would be to change our police to a more customer service orientated mindset. Instead of the us against them mentality the police should live locally and be willing to walk unarmed in the street with the people. They should interact and not harrass the public.

A reform of our drug laws is a must. Especially mj. Most stops for "minor traffic violations" are police actually looking for other crime like possession of a plant. This boost police arrest records and budgets. Reforming cannabis laws and allowing people to possess plants would greatly reduce these kinds of stops and the harassment by police for people peacefully using a plant. Or peacefully just driving down the street.

Now the propaganda of division that is pushed by the mega wealthy is right on. The media pushes the fear and division and people feel isolated and untrusting of even their neighbors. Media programming is just that and the power of suggestion and propaganda pushed by the wealthy owned media is real.

The cops are working class just like the rest of us, they hold no allegiance to the wealthy. But like many americans so many have been brainwashed with fear and mistrust and they fit a personality that easily follows orders and laws even if those orders and laws are unjust. It is bad laws that continue discrimination and bad training and a cultural fear and division that we must face and we must change.
