You don't actually want anything to change, you just want to be angry.
So keeping the same police that murder and arrest black people and fucking children way more often than any other race should just be reformed a little? The same exact officers fighting tooth and nail not only to protect this violent apparatus but to expand upon it? And I’m afraid of change? My friend, that is not change. And I do not want to be angry, I am. I am mad at the racist institutions and the complacency in it.
Reform the police could accomplish the same goal, but is a more paletable message for the who barely care or don't care.
Where has a palatable message gotten police reform now?
Well the last time it had a chance of major reform the message was defund the police and it blew up in our face.
What do you mean by “last time?”
