You're right about convincing society, but American society has conflated vengeance with justice to the point that they may be inseparable concepts.

I've suffered some significant injustice at the hands of another, and for what it's worth their punishment has provided nothing for me. My experience has completely reversed my thi…

Right but on the other side, how many situations escalate because now they have an armed person with a few months of training on the scene. "Do we expect a social worker to protect…

Their iPhone chips blow everything out of the water so this is exciting. Also adds more fuel to the merging of iOS/macOS.

My local police union has been called out multiple times for publishing racist things in their newsletter and literally nothing has come from it. They can openly publicize in print…

It's absurd that it's taken this much to have a national dialogue about how problematic the "social services with a gun" approach is.

B and C probably both fit - police aren't inherently a net bad, but the policing system in america produces too many bad outcomes to lend blanket support to; it's arguably unethica…

It's not a witch hunt if there's an actual problem.

Just because there's a legitimate role doesn't mean that it's currently being practiced ethically. If it's not being practiced ethically the argument is that you can't ethically pr…
