I don't agree with some of the language used (ACAB for instance even if I understand why people say that) and even I was a little confused by 'defund the police' before it was explained to me but yeah I think there is little evidence that this isn't a system problem at this point. You should be wary of people who want to explain "defund the police" to you and "ACAB" to you. People have tried to justify these terms to make them not seem so extremist, when a lot of the people using these terms are actually using them as you probably first assessed them. There is a reason why almost all of the democratic party has strayed away from that language and those ideas despite it being people more likely to vote for them. There are a lot of isolated incidents probably every year since the beginning of time regarding law and order. There is a lot of personalities, situations, circumstances, good/bad people, and even mistakes that can happen in all of time. It is hard to pick out an infallible system in all of history that has worked 100% of the time. It is even harder when you add human nature to the equation due to the fact to err is to be human. Sometimes I empathize for police even because our society expects our police to be mindless perfect machines and have expectations that they can never stand up to. Yes, mistakes can happen and some of them can have very bad results. Compounding that with more and more issues to make the mistakes happen more and more frequently is hardly a solution to me. We can always strive to do better. And, since we are human there will always be the ability to do better because we aren't perfect. Edit: In a whatever analogy I just thought of. It would be like you saying you wanted to cut the Gold Glove winner in baseball because his defense has systemic issues because despite all his great plays and assists from the outfield that he made which saved like 14 runs over replacement, he made an error .1% of the time. --- Xbox Live User Name - Corrik Currently playing: Spider-Man (PS4), Quantum Break (X1) <cite>Corrik7 posted [p:943849336] in Politics C...
