10 years ago, i watched APD literally dance in the parking lot and laugh as a nightclub burned down.
a few years after that, APD shot an sleeping teen in a car.
they shoot pets, they shoot naked people, they running tackle jaywalkers…
and this is after stan knee left and was replaced by acevedo, reforms put in, etc. There won’t be a conviction for this. There won’t be a change from it. Even if there is, it’ll be implemented internally by this department. Our set up of policing is broken at the core. At this point, I view reforming police to be peacekeepers like we’re tasking bloods and crips to open soup kitchens.
this is like the fire department driving around and torching homes, and we keep talking about how the homes shouldn’t have had flammable wooden joists.
