2/2 No matter what your stance on policing, most can agree on the common sense idea that no institution can police itself. It’s laughable to expect that from anyone and get a fair outcome.

I believe these offenders are not ‘bad apples’ but the result of system rot. But even if you disagree, more (independent, empowered) oversight would catch them sooner.

You’re right, Sensible Centrists, let’s set aside that scary #defundthepolice approach for the eminently practical #8CantWait solution.

Wait, what’s that you say?

Remember the high profile criminal justice reform campaign that "appeared" purely to undercut the actual criminal justice reform movements. ...

"Given the implications of policy surrounding police violence can mean the difference between life and death, the implications of using faulty data science and statistical analysis to make claims as large as these are irresponsible and may serve as an out for leaders and politicians looking for alternatives to more transformative demands."

@radicalgraffiti @lesbianhacker the person who did the "analysis" (not a peer-reviewed study, I'm currently re-analyzing it myself) has a twitter thread here: https://twitter.com/samswey/status/1269298269055856641

including quotes like "reducing police killings is harm reduction, abolition the end goal"

and "those alternatives will take time to build...and as long as police continue to have any budget at all, they ought to have policies like #8cantwait, reducing the harm they cause"
