at risk of being purged, Cop Rock is the greatest show to ever come out of the 90s.

I'm definitely open to more radical solutions too, if you'd like to share any suggestions.

The newest Cumtown had a bit about Joe Arpaio and they started talking about the militarization of the police. And Nick had a sober moment about how the idea of a shaved headed officer decked out like SWAT would never have crossed his mind as a child in the 90's. It's pretty hosed up how fast America broke it's own brain after 9/11

Do you guys think bylaws and such are just totally irrelevant, to be ignored when it's convenient? It's not the role of the NPC to creatively interpret resolutions and bylaws, until they reach the outcome that the people yelling at them want them to reach: it's their job to follow a procedure, to the best of their ability. That's it. They've done that. That's the most you can expect.

Don't like it? Welcome to the real world, the place where you don't get everything you want, even when everything is done right.

Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, 2 “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat; 3 therefore, do whatever they teach you and follow it; but do not do as they do, for they do not practice what they teach. 4 They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear,[a] and lay them on the shoulders of others; but they themselves are unwilling to lift a finger to move them.

it's extremely cool that the argument against danny has evolved from him being a cop to him working with cop unions to him not disclosing his work with cop unions to his response to the hysteria about the aforementioned arguments.

seems like you'd first have to win a vote to declare unionising cops bad, prevent people who unionised cops from holding leadership positions, apply this rule retroactively

Mind if I ask a question about police abolition? When I hear the term, the first thing i think of is Paul Bremer firing all of the Baathist police and officers in Iraq, and how many of the fired Baathists joined ISIS. Obviously the current police system is terrible and must be changed, but I fear that completely eliminating the police will lead to a large pool of unemployed racists used to abusing authority, and create some sort of Freikorps/Klan hybrid. The stated goals in the DSA platform all involve police/criminal justice reforms (and are great), but is police abolition even possible?

Bremer was a loving idiot and it's easy to avoid making his mistakes.

It's conceivable that most rank-and-file police will be incorporated into the new not-police organization after some retraining. The cops who won't are chiefs, commanders, supervisors, sergeants -- anyone who set or enforced the organizational priorities of the police as it exists today. Those positions would be filled by trusted comrades with a commitment to good "policing" practices and authentic justice. The whole organization would be working with a new mandate, a new rulebook, and a clean slate of institutional practices. Call it reform if you really want to, but you're looking at a fundamentally different institution when all is said and done.
