They should of course have community outreach. I'd start by not training the police to kill people with little or no justification. And then go scot free.....


Fix that image issue & we'll see some meat on the bone of community outreach.

It is systemic so lets not let a show of good deeds-staged & photographed-change the facts of how they do the job they were assigned.

And I've donated thousands in toys when I could. And a lot of it to a local PD drive. I don't regret that but I'll stick to local programs. The police use this as propaganda.

I listened to yesterday. It explains how the TERRIBLE wording in the Supreme Court Decision Graham vs. Conner is resulting in acquittals of police in cases where police shoot and kill an unarmed man. Juries are acquitting because of the instruction from this case.

I have no idea how this gets fixed, except by another Supreme Court case.

Community outreach is a positive thing. I'm not sure it will prevent police violence, maybe it helps. But the fact that police don't face consequences for killing unarmed men, primarily black men, and get off scot-free seems to be explained by this case.

and keep cursing the darkness.

little town (in Michigan) for probably at least ten years. It's a great program. The kids love it.

That way he might be a little less likely to smoke you.

than the other way around. It's cops who don't see the humanity in many citizens, including children.

I thought there was a big bust up or a big wreck.

Since I was parked, I decided to walk over and watch the carnage up close.

It turns out the local precinct was having a Halloween carnival in a parking lot.

Twice in the past couple years I've seen where they have left lights and sirens on for an hour,
for no apparent reason after arriving at a non-violent scene.

Once they had a witness to a non-injury car accident locked in the back seat,
with the siren atop the car wailing away. That was on the news.

From my vantage point, it looked like they were on the street.

This was a county constable/JOP office. It doesn't have night hours because the area is served by city police officers.

I was the one, who was hoping to see a "train-wreck", instead I saw a kiddie-carnival.

also in Dane county. Called it Cops and Bobbers.

Maybe they won't be as likely to shoot them.

It was a very nice event.
