OK, but they're not doing that.

Also, automated speed enforcement and red-light enforcement work. They are effective. Police officers can't be everywhere always; speed cameras and red-light cameras can.

Hans Riemer and Marc Elrich are currently having a Twitter fight over who hates cops more. No lie. And Jawando has been actively pro-abolishing police from the getgo.

Ordinary residents are not speaking up. Where are you? It’s a bunch of loud extremists who are going to be the ones to reduce patrol in Wheaton and Silver Spring. Stop traffic enforcement. Pull SROs out of schools. And more. It’s unbelievable. The advocates and politicians are so trapped in their bubble, they don’t hear any dissenting opinions.

It doesn’t have to be less or no police to address racially disparate contact. These folks are apparently intellectually incapable of making program changes that would meet their completely reasonable goals of safer and more equitable policing.

Actually the idea is more traffic enforcement - specifically, automated traffic enforcement. Which removes potential bias from traffic enforcement AND frees up police officers to do other things.

That manages speeding and running red lights and nothing else.

???? That seems like a good thing to me, not a bad thing. Police officers won't have to manage speeding and red light running, the cameras can do it! Yay!

Driving fast is a civil offense.
Driving drunk is a criminal offense.

Cops will not stop criminal traffic stops.

Nobody is saying that is a bad thing. It's just not a comprehensive solution. Have you all read the task force report on public safety reform? It's a nightmare.

You probably shouldn’t be calling out people in your family for being “uneducated” with grammar like yours.

DP. There's nothing uneducated about "my family are." It's standard English English.

Everyone wants to feel safe in their neighborhoods. It's valid to examine policing practices that contribute to or detract from that.

I am the LEO family poster. Yes we do and I’ve wanted to examine practices for years, though moco is light years ahead of other forces like Baltimore. Just because we are not the bottom of the barrel is no reason to not improve.

This. 100%.

the republicans from MoCo need to start nominating a normal person. It'll still be YEARS before they win anything, but right now, we are just spinning our wheels with Ficker.

The goal shouldn't be to win any elections for republicans in MoCo. the goal should be to start changing the narrative, and win some elections in 8-10 years

I've seen the tweets, and actually it is a lie.
