Not going to happen when Google (or other similar tech giants) can just buy out (and potentially shut down) their potential competition.

There are many reasons why police serve the role they do in society. Neglecting other reasons other than blatant racketeering—the role they play in preserving the institution of pr…

You don't have to believe anything, but if you don't see the racism that pervades our society you're utterly blind.
