Fleeing from police should not be a death sentence.
Chases are stupid , and result in bystander death and injuries. You know who the person is. you have them on body cam. You have them on dashcam. You have their car information. In a world full of modern surveillance technology, you can just wait for them to come home and pick them up there without risk. We need to focus on keeping people safe. That includes those who may have committed crimes.

I wish I could type as fast as my late, great auntie. She could have transcribed “War and Peace” and made her pork chops for dinner by now. :biggrin:

I have few answers. Many questions and likely at least one or two “hot takes” as the parlance goes these days.
I’m going to take a stab at getting closer to the meat of things in real time. What could be more apt than bullet points? (In no particular order)
The political will to solve the problem continues to grow, but I’d have to say the tank is probably only half way full. Feel free to add your own 3x5 cards to the cork board. Bring your own colored yarn, the pushpins are free.

Not enough people have politically-acceptable quick fixes and clean solutions to easily posit what so-called “reform” looks like.
Root and stem ... yeah maybe. We’re in the identification stage only, and far too few have agreed there’s a problem. This manifests as “can’t be done” and all manner of noise meanwhile. |
