[quote=Anonymous]11:34 again: One thing I found really compelling from abolitionist activists was a list of the reforms being advocated by folks like 8can'twait compared to the deaths that have happened in police custody recently. In almost every case, the police already had those regulations on the books, and it didn't matter. Eric Garner died from a choke hold. The NYPD isn't allowed to use choke holds, but it took years and massive, widespread, public protest to get the cop who killed Garner removed from the job. Or, like, the "duty to intervene" when a cop sees another cop being violent. Minneapolis has those regulations on the books, and three cops sat and watched George Floyd die. Buffalo has those regulations on the books, and fifteen cops watched an elderly man bleed from the ear and did nothing. What good do reforms do if the actual culture of the police force is rooted in violence and white supremacy? I think we have the answer. [/quote]
