    If rhey insist on military terms and tactics, a military court martial is only fair. Especially the parts about force and civilians.

      Not only that, but crimes specific to police officers just like soldier specific crimes. Hold them to a higher standard, and when that power is abused only the most brutal of punishments.

        Every time. Y’all forget THE essential fact every time this comes up: cops are enforcers for the rich only, and unless something they do affects the rich, nothing will change. They’re not military, they’re barely smarter than a glue-sniffing mutt and twice as psychotic. 🤦🏽‍♂️

      Or an anti cop insurgency.

      I live in Los Angeles, where the cops keep getting caught bringing in the big moral panic drug of the day and slaughtering people and being literal Nazi street gangs.

      And I’m just putting the name “people persecuted by police” out there; somebody please use it, and please live up to it.

        While an anti cop uprising is likely inevitable, I’m not confident that it actually makes anything change at this point.

          ‘Revolutions in reverse’; its basically warm fuzzy more broadly effective thing based on ‘propaganda of the deed’
