Here’s the thing: I’m getting pushback from people who agree with the protesters but disagree that police just need to be fired en masse. But the violence being committed by the police in so many of these instances is not traceable back to individual police, because they’ve intentionally obscured or hidden their identity.

ETA: In the “meets the general description of” sort of way. “Asshole in a uniform, mask over face, armed and dangerous.”
Just wait until Trump brings back Positive Christianity. It’s positive, so it must be good /s.
Firing police en masse has been tried in some of Eastern and Central European countries, frequently with very good results. In Poland during 1989 democratic transition changes were less drastic, but most brutal regiments of riot police were disbanded:
While there wasn’t enough accountability, 15 ZOMO officers did receive prison sentences and oversight on police actions significantly increased.
Good. I’m glad that got charged.
