We can’t train away the hate, it’s time to confiscate every cop’s gun and the power it provides. Demands: traffic enforcement, mental health, and all other non-violent calls should be handled by unarmed professionals, all beat cops should live in the neighborhood they patrol, abolish police unions. Until such laws are enacted, it’s time for private citizens to monitor, witness, record, and when necessary, intervene against police violence. www.charlesbursell.com
