The lack of justice system reform is the 1% telling us the George floydd protests didn't go far enough. So go further i guess.
The guy who created Killology, and anyone else who has created training which teaches cops that everyone else is a dangerous enemy, should be prosecuted for conspiracy to commit murder (or similar) every time a cop who received their training kills someone.
Conservatives should not be permitted to hold positions of authority. They lack empathy, which makes it nearly impossible for them to de-escalate or treat mental health crises appropriately.
They lack empathy and show signs of psychopathy, which is even worse
I'm not making an account to see a damned video. I'll just assume the cop is a deranged asshole.
Police are not therapists and psychologists.
You don't need to be a therapist or psychologist to not shoot someone having a mental health crisis
But therapists and psychologists won't come to your house in a mental health emergency with someone acting out violently for free, so people end up calling the cops out of desperation. One of many reasons we need a robust public healthcare system.
We also need people trained to de-escalate these crises on the public payroll, available for emergencies 24/7. And boy did the "defund the police" slogan not help with that.
police, however, are the rapists and psycho.
And murderers.
Maybe we're doing this all wrong. Maybe we need to use reverse-psychology on these simple-minded cops and start begging them to murder our loved ones when they're having mental health crises.
"Oh powerful warrior cop, please bless me with relief from paying monthly tribute to my landed lord. My life is yours to take."
The most important part of becoming a cop is apparently lacking empathy.
Almost all cops are conservatives, so that tracks.
Gun nuts when they find out the largest donors to gun control lobbying are police unions:

Goes with the vacillating states of intoxicating power and jibbering fear of the ~~enemy~~ public. It's not a tenable state of mind for a well person.
This is why conservatism should be a disqualifier for positions of authority over others.
No democrats or Republicans in charge? Sign me right the fuck up.
