    The police is fascist, communists have been telling you that for 150 years but you didn’t want to listen.

      Ah, yes, the only group that that is enlightened to the dangers of the authoritarian right, the authoritarian left.

        Police is fascist regardless of whether the gov is right or left or anything else. You need strong mechanisms in place to control fascism within the police.

          I (surprisingly) agree with one of your comments, but why not just phrase your initial comment like this rather than feeling the need to force your (authoritarian) communist rhetoric in with it? Your comments are generally vitriolic in nature and get tons of down votes as a result, but obviously you’re capable of reasonable discussion.

          Instead of trying to force people to think a certain way, or fall in line with your thinking, just giving clear and constructive information and opinions. I say that as someone who very much appreciates the social and economic strength of a communist society, but I also strongly oppose authoritarianism regardless of the beliefs.

      While there are loads of examples of bad policing, it is a problem that can be fixed through better employee screening and training.

        Yeah. They just need more kill-ology classes so they can escalate and murder unarmed black people while letting this klan fuckhead go because he pulled a gun on vulnerable minorities.

          neither of you are wrong. id love to see police have to go through 2-4 years of training like in europe vs the few weeks to months here.

            I’d prefer greater accountability from police to unaccountably wasting money on programs that are designed to make police even more violent against minorities.
