Times have changed quite dramatically since Civilian Led Police was developed and introduced. The quick ability to adapt is one of its greatest aspects. Now, CLP would be focusing on the local instability of our communities.
We learned how to create equitable and just policing a long time ago. We met with damn near everyone. Fact is.... The interest in just policing has been all rhetoric.Sadly, the human being prefers power over morality.
A black city pays black men to issue state violence, it goes as predictable, then the city pays more black men to issue state violence as the protestors demand a change and we must pay black men to issue violence against those black men...... #TyreNichols

@Seneca4Mayor Are you familiar with community policing? I'm no expert, but I've heard @civilianledpd talk about ideas like having cops patrol their own neighborhoods and bringing back beat cops on foot. He might be a helpful consult.

A career of work has shown four correlates to violent crime which are strong enough to understand as causations. Not a single police department in the United States is fighting the four known causes of violent crime. They are:
Environmental Poisoning: In the current state and prioritized by contribution to violence, poisoning is highlighted by lead but includes mercury, arsenic, asbestos, cadmium, dioxins, PCBs, too little or too much fluoride, and harmful pesticides.
Fear has been used to get us to agree with such a system, and it is fear that keeps us from working together to stop what is becoming a self-inflicted wound.
This is a terrible reality to learn about, especially when we contemplate our own complicity in the constructs which have gotten us here. There is a moral imperative to face these issues once understood, and that can make us want to close our eyes and not accept responsibility.
Police: Sounds counter-intuitive, but it is rather apparent once understanding the foundation of what policing is versus what we imagine it to be. Policing is the use of violence to achieve compliance with the authorities. No wonder 1 in 17 homicide victims are killed by police.
Local Instability: These are things which contribute to the stress of desperation and can come from a myriad of sources but is often noted to us by its other symptoms, such as fatherless homes, lack of resources, and socio-economic opportunity disparities.
