Hostile architecture is among the symptoms of the hostile modern city, where neighbours never say hi, and people die on the streets as people walk passivly by.
I'm not arguing against police reform. I agree that the police in their current state suck massive donkey balls, are not trained to de-escalate, frequently do things that would get an ordinary citizen five years minimum without so much as a slap on the wrist, and increasingly resemble a military more than anything else. I am sick to death of leftists pretending these problems extend to policing as a concept and working to abolish that instead of working towards a future where psychologists are called rather than SWAT teams.
