Just wanted to be clear that I'm not equating Chauvin's actions to other situations.
Well... I am insofar as police violence against blacks is a cultural problem that is not changing fast enough.
Sorry about getting Ma'khia Bryant's age wrong. I wasn't trying to make a point with the age, just trying to attach a minimal piece of information to convey the situation I'm talking about, but I didn't actually look into the facts; I just repeated what I'd heard.
Yeah, I was just kinda using your post as a starting point-- I should have clarified that more.
And agreed, the institution of American policing is deeply sick. It's evolved to exacerbate the worst tendencies inherent in policing and minimize the best. This is what gets me onboard with "abolish" in the sense that starting from scratch is probably easier and possibly the only viable option.
