 @5a73c83e Despite the fact that black people experience police harassment and brutality much more than white people, white people also obviously experience it too, just to a lesser extent. I don't think it's wise to sum up the problem of the police to a completely one-sided racial issue (although obviously, again, black people suffer much more than white people) because the police is the problem of the entire working class.

This is why intersectionality is so important to recognize: the oversight, accountability, deescalation, and decriminalization which would help with these problems are universal to issues involving police, both racial and non-racial, even including some which police themselves raise.

This was how we built the consensus on all sides for normalizing bodycams.
