Someone told me the other day that they had investigated the Minneapolis police blotter, after the reporting that the majority of people arrested were from out of state. That investigation turned up that the blotter didn't agree, and shortly after it was revealed the police issued an apology.

Denver made a similar report, but have not made their arrest records public, for some reason...

The police issued an apology? How about we fire someone for this. There have to be consequences or the system doesn't work.

Why do you think people are protesting or rioting? There are a ton of people who feel like their desire to change "the system" is falling on deaf ears.

Elections and lawsuits are really the only meaningful power the average person has over those in power. Other than that, it's up to people in power to check others in power via "checks and balances".

Time for some great ideas!

---------------

- Eliminate civil forfeiture, an archaic part of the policing process

- Remove the sentencing discrepancies between crack and powdered cocaine, which needlessly exacerbate the racial welfare gap (Biden erote this law btw)

- Ensure all cops wear bodycams at all time so that their integrity can never be called into question without evidence.

- Implement a UBI so that impoverished minorities can claw themselves out of a dead end system.

Things we did do!

- Burned Target

It's the Occupy Wall Street idiocy all over again. If you're going to protest, you need to have S.M.A.R.T. goals in mind and make sure you don't lose public goodwill to fringe radical followers (looters).
