It’s not just that the police chronically harass, injure, and murder people. They also •fail to provide public safety•.
There’s this sort of unstated white person contract that says, “Yes, the police may be violent, but we will tolerate it because we need public safety.”
But the police simply fail to provide that.
Call it “reform” or “defund” or “abolish.” I don’t care. Are we •replacing things that fail•, or are we •embracing continued failure•? That’s it. That’s the question.
