That’s what’s insane. At no point is there any self accountability for these actions. It’s always “the system did this!” and because of hyper wokeness anyone who says otherwise will lose their job or be shamed on social media. So there really is no recourse. It’s just a super liberal city council that will continue to pass soft on crime laws that allow crime with impunity and then a bunch of poor people or gentrifiers getting shot and life just goes on apparently. Don’t even think about actually policing anymore. That’s racist.[/quote]

Please describe what you mean by "actually policing."[/quote]

I doubt you were arguing in good faith, and are merely looking for an opportunity to post a woke hot take or a snarky comment meant to dunk on my interpretation of what community policing should mean, and anything I say will be met with an instant knee jerk rebuttal about how stop and frisk and broken windows policing was racist and all that, but here goes:

Police should not feel or be handicapped in their ability to stop violent crime. They should wear body cameras and if they break the law be arrested. We should get rid of qualified immunity. However,[b] the tough on crime policing of the 90s worked. [/b]Many people were incarcerated and many lives were shattered because of that rise in arrests, but crime was measurably lowered. We have now hit the era that since there is a disproportionate rate of arrest and incarceration by a certain group of people, even if those arrests and convictions are justified, because of the disproportionate arrest statistics being so outsized, rather than actually trying to stymy the crime commiters actions (no matter what group they belong to) the latest movement is to provide “restorative justice” for violent crime, to lower sentences which incentives crime. That’s not racist that’s a fact.[/quote]

The "tough on crime" policing worked, if the goal was to incarcerate people, break up families, destabilize society, and enrich the for-profit prison industry. If you think that statement is "snarky" or "woke", I don't know what to say.

You might try reading "Locking Up Our Own," by James Forman. [/quote]

You might try reading the most recent Atlantic article that showed tough on crime policing worked.

I guess there is a study for everything though. And now because we’re see sawing to the other side of criminal prosecution, where is hugs and restorative justice and no one will go to jail or face accountability for violent crime, I guess we get to find out in another 10 years how that affected crime when another study comes out. And if dc goes back to being a crime ridden cesspool like the Barry years well I guess the woke folks will have been right all along. I’m pretty sure though, based on the increase in teen violence and car jackings that they’re wrong.[/quote]

If all we do is hug people instead, then you're right.

Have you talked to / read from any of the experts on alternatives to policing?  Or are you just going to operate at the limit of your imagination and assume that's enough.

And if you want to talk about what really works, maybe we can try wholesale extermination.  A final solution, if you will. But that's on you.[/quote]
