It would all be reminiscent of empty shop shelves in the former Soviet Union if only we had some shops.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

What the data say about police shootings
How do racial biases play into deadly encounters with the police? Researchers wrestle with incomplete data to reach answers. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-02601-9

No plan nothing.

Most will ignore it twice as it is unavailable to most for legal reasons, among other things.

Odd news day with one story about a suit against the NRA and a different story about a law proposed in Arkansas to give concealed carry to judges.
Anything but talk about privilege? * https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/a......n-review And still not talking about inertia and the forces which move people.

Just a suggestion: Please don't ask for guidance from "nowhere to be seen". "someone to save us - someone to follow - someone to lead us - some brave Apollo"?

Imagine, One Billion dollars over three years in just three cities. It's fairly mindboggling. As for "no plans, nothing," I've been talking about what I think could be done for fifteen years here. Gets kind of boring to keep repeating it. But just because you don't like or agree with the ideas put forth doesn't mean I haven't articulated them. Meanwhile your plan evidently is to continue the failed policies. But denying doesn't make things go away.

Too numerous to mention by name. The individual names aren't that important--there will always be other individuals to replace them. What's important are the institutions to preserve the elite class's power: the two major political parties, Wall Street, the military and police apparatus that enforces the inequality. When I spoke of leader, I specifically mentioned *in politics*--that is, someone from the ruling class who might mitigate things to save capitalism from itself as FDR managed to do. But quite right, the working class does not need leaders in that sense. If there's a revolution in this country, it will happen through patient organizing on the ground, and through constant acts of courage. There are extraordinary ordinary people all over the place fighting to make their own and other people's lives better.

I think it holds true for almost all jobs as a general rule. I think being a police officer is a very difficult job. But it doesn't affect one iota the reality of what I listed above.

All you proved conclusively is we live in a litigious society.
Then you do what you always do to prove your fantasy land bs. "Imagine..." and go on to fill in with your own private agenda ad if it were fact.

The DA offices are full of retired police officers, which a conflict of interest where police officers are being prosecuted or not as the case may be. What you have got there is an illusion of independence as people think the DA offices are just full of bunch of independent layers. It is no wonder some police officers think they can get away with murder.
