  • I think we’re all missing the point here, and this is how they divide us. (By they I mean monied interests). Back in the 60s you could get a job air hammering in the same 8 bolts all day that would provide you a house, car, and your spouse doesn’t work and you have 2 kids and go on vacation twice a year and the company takes care of your retirement. Both of these jobs (in ops post) require the same or more skill to do and you can’t even afford to rent a studio apartment on your own. We need to stop looking at other “unskilled” labor and saying “they better not make a much as me” and start asking “hold on, why can’t we both make more?” Rising tides lift all ships. The only people that suffer are the multi millionaires.

    This isnt radical. If you work full time you should be able to afford what your parents and grandparents had in the 60s working full time.

    Other research, though, has found that the diversification of police forces did not lead to less aggressive policing of Black and other minority civilians (Headley & Wright, 2020; Nicholson-Crotty et al., 2017; Rim et al., 2021; Smith, 2003; Smith & Holmes, 2014).

    I don’t think my ass is showing too bad. Maybe just the crack. This is a quote from your article btw. So there’s research to suggest it helps, and research to suggest it doesn’t.

    I’m not standing against diversifying police forces, I never even hinted that. I’m saying in the current system it doesn’t matter. A cop is blue. And look at that there’s studies to support my position too.
