That footage is hosed. She 100% should lose her job but a jury isn't going to convict her, because the victim "struggled" and "tried to run".

Eh. Based on the way even Minneapolis Police leadership are treating it, they want to throw her to the wolves. Misogyny probably.

Oh, I don't doubt that they'll "fire her" but I wouldn't be shocked if she gets hired by another department and I'd be surprised if she serves jail time.

The great thing about the thousands of slaughtered Palestinian children is that they can't pull away when you fondle them or sniff their hair.

That's a Biden success story.

As a quick FYI, this doesn't involve MPD. She's employed by Brooklyn Center Police Department and this occurred in Brooklyn Center

Is there a more concise kind of 2-page summary of what policy abolition is and what it would look like?

There's a bunch of great articles in the OP like Confessions of a Bastard Cop, but there's a group of people I'm interacting with that need:

1. A short, digestible, summary
2. From a published source (aka, not just me summarizing for them)

Sweden doesn't do religion. But if they did, it would probably be the best religion in the world.
The Mozambique drill is a shooting technique invented by white South African/Rhodesian mercenaries designed to garantuee a fatal outcome at close range. So yeah, it does have white supremacist connotations and military origins.

A cop in westminister decided to punch a handcuffed woman on camera.

While ACAB, are they all loving dumb too? You’d think that even the dimmer one would take it easy for a few days after Chauvin trial due to public sentiment. I guess just if you always treat people like poo poo, it’s a hard habit to break.

This story is twenty years old, but there is precedent for police being screened out for scoring too high on intelligence tests.

While fair to call them dumb, this precedent isn’t necessary ”cop dumb” because lots of cities have pretty high educational standards and pick smarter ones, they’re just still nazis.

This particular case is pretty fair because the citt had issues with people getting hired as cops to get public pay before training, then bolting to other employment after some time with their education and such, basically just using it as a holding pattern. The city is justified in screening out those people. Same poo poo occasionally in fire service, if you got a dude who has two master’s degrees in engineering and is there ”to see where it takes me” because he just got fired or something, when it’s clear he just needs pay and bennies until he’s out of the town.

This court case is trotted out as some universal US policy, while it’s evidently a rare case.

Obtaining cops that are inclined to follow orders and not ask questions is a nice fringe benefit though

I'd define police as people that are empowered to use violence to effect an arrest with only probable cause that a crime was committed. That includes municipal police, FBI, postal inspectors, park rangers, etc. Am I right in assuming that this is not the definition people are using when talking about abolishing police? The only goal is to remove municipal police that are performing non-arrest activities while armed?

I’m willing to consider abolishing any of the above but definitely our approach is to municipal policing is fundamentally broken.

No.

Police abolition generally means destroying the current institution and creating a new law enforcement system that isn't connected to the hundreds of years of white supremacist policing.

Some functions of the new system might be similar to what we currently call policing but a lot of what police currently do isn't really useful and efficient for them to do and funding for those fucntions would go to systems/professionals that are better equipped and trained to do that stuff.

Vahakyla

A lot of law enforcement is hosed up, but municipal police, and county sheriff’s are often the most hosed up, and probably the cause of most police violence and oppression.

Something like Postal Inspectors as federal agents are constitutionally mandated. We aren’t abolishing them, and probably not the mainstay federal agencies either like FBI. And I’d say they are pretty reformable, and already ”not as bad”.

Lot of the federal agencies are also something voting and progressive politicians have the most control over, as does executive appointment of directors. Local cops are often mired in old white people local politics, or greasy mayors like NYC. Sheriffs are also conservative by design due to rural vote, and have too much power.

Municipal cops and sheriffs? They gotta go. Then we start looking at state polices.

FBI has a very long history of white supremacy as well, but I realize that's going to be harder to abolish than local police.

It does, no denying. But reversing that course is also a lot easier due to executive power, and the congress. In addition, their high education requirements mean their agents are more professional and career oriented people that you can reform, because the good old boy network is harder to keep up due to civil service laws.

Are you saying that you're generally ok with the powers and duties of the police but you want to abolish the specific system? What would success look like to you? Is the important thing a gap in continuity and a destruction of the culture of policing like the uniforms, warrior culture training, names, etc?

Are there any cultures you'd look to for examples of good policing? IIRC historically the Chinese had officials that didn't proactively look for crimes but would investigate crimes that were brought to them? I'm assuming that when you talk about moving responsibilities to organizations that are more suited you're talking about mostly misdemeanor crimes?

What gives you the impression I haven't looked at those things? This isn't exactly foundational, I'm already in agreement that the warrior culture stuff is bad, cops aren't really trained to handle misdemeanor offenses in a reasonable way, cops aren't trained to handle mental health cases or people with disabilities. I also realize that defunding/abolition doesn't involve just letting people commit real felonies (rape, murder, assault causing real harms) with impunity. What I'm trying to understand is where it all comes together.
