      I’m not sure. I don’t blame the police totally. They are actually humans in an abusive system, too. Their departments dehumanize them to get them to do abusive stuff. And I have no idea what lever of the ones humans have self-discovered to pull on to make it so that they only do good.

      I’ve actually written a bunch of journals about it uselessly. When I have discovered what I thought was just a cherry genius idea I pretty quickly find not only has it already been implemented in some departments … it usually has been gamed into fraud by some broken police officers, too.

      So I have no ideas but i still think and write about it. transcendence requires even the rudest and least of all the faithful, and most contemptible to very many to try to find a way.

        eh, lets try that again.

        They are actually humans choosing to aid and remain part of an abusive system, too.

        Thank you for the thoughtful reply to my dumb joke, ha. Genuinely, I appreciate it. Because I am in the same position when it comes to my feelings on it. I feel like if we tried to get rid of police the ex-police would just organize snd become terroristic entities demanding their jobs back… a situation in which you will need, you guessed it, a police force to police the ex police. There’s basically no good solutions other thana massive subset of humans choosing to be better people.
