The Origins of Policing in America

 Video from the Washington Post



And we've also learned, in a Michael Moore film, that other countries have enacted alternative models for law enforcement.

We are well past time for this to be addressed by the two major candidates for president in 2020.

But as we saw Bernie Sanders' 2016 presidential campaign seriously open the Overton Window to make new and different ideas acceptable to the American electorate, so too the almost exclusively nonviolent (except for Fascist provocateurs which infiltrated the movement) will likely do the same for us regarding public safety.

Black Lives Matter. We must assert our citizenship to move the country in the direction of a more perfect union. Progress, not reactionary movement.


Note: I'm not as much of a fan of Michael Moore as I used to be. But he does have a way with effectively communicating by film.
