Hello everyone. Today’s podcast features yours truly as I work to synthesize why there are been countless deaths from police officers yet little to no change to really reform the system of use of excessive force. I took the time to listen to conservative thought leaders, read media from both sides, and listened to podcasts featuring both sides of the “argument” and came to this conclusion:
There is an inherent difference between the way our country perceives its justice system and structure of the United States. It all boils down to trust vs distrust of justice In our government
Conservatives don’t see the why behind our [valid] arguments because they generally don’t inherently see the structure of our government as deeply flawed.
How did I come to this conclusion?
- The Presence of Unions Which Protect Both Good and Bad Cops
-
- The power of the local government when discussing law
- Trust vs. Mistrust in the Intention of Law Enforcement
- Invisibility of Racism
This isn’t an attack toward conservatives, police officers, or even our country- but it is an important and necessary critique. I wanted to better understand the conservative opinion so I can better craft the argument for reform in our justice system and how African-American men are constant targets for our prison systems and use of excessive force.
Stay Amazing, Ya'll.
