Do we trust the police to defund and restructure themselves? Will community control really guarantee permanent changes to policing as we know it today?

How about cutting taxes $100 million?
This discussion has created my own decision of rethinking the use of unions.
Unións were created to protect workers from abusive employers – not to protect workers from being responsible for their failure to perform their job.
It's nice to hear the simple truth. We must become our own leaders. No point blaming the ones we have, they just have to go.
Decrease the police and then decrease the war mentality. Start at home but think globally. End the imperialism and exceptionalism of those who purport to believe in egalitarian democracy. It's all a scam. Those running the show are scared shitless of the general population, deemed the stupid waste products on their agenda, which they keep secret. But their secret's coming out and all will be manifest!
Abolish the police and the let the "community" in the form of criminal gangs run it. Yes, that is an excellent idea.
You are on point, that it is very important, who controls the defunding or any new funds. However I missed: For what you want to use that money or distribut it? It is one thing to demand justice for crimes, it is another even bigger task to get out of the bad situation many communities are in. How you think, could that happen or how you want to make people get ideas, how they can help themselves, change their life or which outside help do they need?

Police reform is just more eyewash for the masses.
The 1st time when I came to the US in 1970 America was already a shithole run by a corrupt Police and government. You have to burn down the system to the ground in order to rebuild it right. But the bubble is that the poor and the blacks don't unite and take he power away.
Defunding will offer very little till the system of capitalism is addressed this is all smal part of a much bigger issue
Give the Billions of dollars to the people to live not to police to kill.
June 29, 2020 Milwaukee federal judge U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman tells it like it IS about the supremely UNETHICAL Roberts Supreme Court and gets charged with "ethics" violation in the Orwellian world of the US "Justice" system.
The longtime Milwaukee jurist created a bit of stir with his piece, "The Roberts Court's Assault on Democracy" in the Harvard Law & Policy Review. He identifies two key ways the court erodes democracy: by making it harder for the poor and minorities to vote, and by "reinforcing the enormous imbalance in wealth and political power" in America.
While most of the article deals with the substance of various decisions, Adelman's opening to the piece set many readers off:
By now it is a truism that Chief Justice John Roberts’ statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee that a Supreme Court justice’s role is the passive one of a neutral baseball 'umpire who (merely) calls the balls and strikes,' was a masterpiece of disingenuousness. Roberts’ misleading testimony inevitably comes to mind when one considers the course of decisionâ€making by the Court over which he presides."

Some of those Funds need to be diverted to whistleblowers also 1 billion is not enough
Why are we talking (displaying images) about the struggles and violence against American Descendants of Slavery (ADOS), but when the host described the victims of systemic police shootings and brutality, she said it happens against People of Color or Hispanics, poor whites, immigrants, etc.? The specific people that have been and still are oppressed and subjugated are ADOS. We have to stop dragging others into our issues because they get the long-term benefits, while we get the continued failure.
This gentleman is correct; we can only solve the racism problem through reparations. You can't reform racism. It must be dismantled and transformed into something other than racism. A new system that doesn't advantage whites and others over ADOS. You must become a free-thinker in order to understand this kind of transformational ideology.
The BLM movement is not about reparations or ADOS. They just want reform and small improvements on the existing racist system, for select groups, i.e., white woman, LGBT, black immigrants, transgender, etc. They don't support the ADOS family as a whole; and they don't advocate for reparations. We have to stop being afraid to say reparations. It's a debt that's owed to ADOS; not an arbitrary payment that's given for appeasement.
Shalom!
Jackson actually wanted no police forces, only militias defending cities, mind you that was 200 years ago.
What he did say though was that all armed forces would end up defending the elites at the expense of the poor and would end up being a massive burden on the taxpayer
Now I know he had his faults, but he couldn't have been more correct about the outcome.
He also felt that all that was needed was a National guard and a strong militia, why didn't they listen, and I'm not even American but the same has happened here in Canada and Europe if not worldwide.
Why is it that the recruiting Human resources can't weed out the crooked ones like responsible Employers do in the first place?
In Toronto they don't even call them officers anymore, they call them high school bullies, which pretty much fits the bill for most of them.
Frank's a champ.
End the war on drugs and invasive surveillance programs by private contractors as well. These so called progressive politicians have lots of people fooled, the private prison system is modern day slavery and effects poor people of every color.
america belongs to the slaves who built it , the natives whose land it was and sadly but factually the whites who survived the civil war, all others are migrants who enjoy employment rights and other human basics
so the vote power should be 3 equal ways which current constitution cannot solve but after this is done then reparations can come and land compensation for the natives
the black experience must play apart in freeing jullian assange who has exposed the systen where many holding high offices can be held responsible to start the ball rolling

We should be fighting to end qualified immunity….
when they defund the police, who will protect you, Floyd's death was provocation to take your rights away. This protests around the country was payed by antifa. People don't be stupid, when they defund police you will be in real danger, that's what antifa want , to take over USA.
The gentleman makes plenty of sense regarding the truth. But, marching will not change anything, unless we are marching to war
