The NYPD and other big city police departments have been buying and using the same tools as the IC for years. When you hear about 'dual use' tech like Palantir, after DOD/IC these companies immediately target and sell to domestic law enforcement, from the FBI all the way down to the local PD.

I don't want to defund the police; I do want them to behave like they are part of the neighborhood and not its enforcers.

EDIT: Slashing funding ≠ defunding. It's a terrible, terrible argument that makes no sense, alienates people who'd otherwise support a more reasonable approach, and perfectly embodies the 'all or nothing' style of modern day performance politics.

People have been saying this for decades and decades. It doesn't work. How long does it have to not work before you accept that we need another strategy?
