I also believe that all cops should have a stronger layer of accountability (like perhaps an arm under the FBI to locally monitor police), that certain interactions between judges, proscutors, and police should be discouraged with fines or worse, and they should be demilitarized.
But for now, standing against a diverse police force is idiocy.
Other research, though, has found that the diversification of police forces did not lead to less aggressive policing of Black and other minority civilians (Headley & Wright, 2020; Nicholson-Crotty et al., 2017; Rim et al., 2021; Smith, 2003; Smith & Holmes, 2014).
I don't think my ass is showing too bad. Maybe just the crack. This is a quote from your article btw. So there's research to suggest it helps, and research to suggest it doesn't.
I'm not standing against diversifying police forces, I never even hinted that. I'm saying in the current system it doesn't matter. A cop is blue. And look at that there's studies to support my position too.
Meh, people are hyper radicalized against the police for not terrible reasons. I really hope that we are able to fix the issues with training, racism, etc but there's no real point in arguing with the kind of people who would say the stuff I'm seeing in this thread.
Similar vibes as that story from maybe a month ago of cop being executed in the street and the comments were just full of people celebrating. Really sickening.
