"Though I found police brutality abhorring, I concluded that it's not at all surprising. Agents that work for an institution that is based on coercion and double-standards will revert in general practice to the use of coercion and double-standards."

"The solution to the problems of policing is not in an oppositional stance, but in creating the paradigms which make policing as we know it obsolete. This is big picture thinking that goes beyond accountability and reform..." - @AdvancedApe23
