1. El Poder Inherente y Corruptor de la Policía.
Existe un consenso generalizado de que la posición policial confiere una autoridad excesiva que inevitablemente corrompe a quienes la ostentan, independientemente de sus intenciones iniciales. Se percibe que la policía existe para proteger estructuras de poder, no a los ciudadanos.
- Absolute power corrupts absolutely. We need to have less power and less lethal power in the police. They have gone from serving the public to feeding on the public.
- Give someone enough power and their brain literally stops processing other people the same way.
- Too many who get into, who want to get into, positions of power -- guards, police, ice, presidents -- abuse that power.
- Police are not there to protect us. That is propaganda. They are there to protect the people in power and their assets.
- Good cops staying silent about cops who abuse their positions of power doesnt make anyone a good cop. It just makes them complicit.
- Cops everywhere know they can do anything without risking anything! no matter which party is in power, theyll let the cops loose because power relies on cops.
- Zero disincentive for cops to abuse thor power. Heads, legs get win tails, taxpayers lose.
- I want to establish a ramification for unnecessary, retaliatory and access forcearrest that puts the burden of penalty on the officers and not taxpayers.
- This is what unchecked police militarization looks like. The local police do this every day across the country to immigrant and citizen alike.
- If a law enforcement officer hides their face, theyve already stepped outside the bounds of public trust. No excuses. No exceptions.
- Camo in an urban environment is completely different, and this forest green or desert pattern is functionally useless. Police only dress this way to project an image of power they should not have.
- Masking is low status autistic instinctive behavior unmasking is high status autistic instinctive behavior.
- Civilian oversight of our police is completely broken.
- Are we still hoping that politicians are going to make headway in decreasing the power of the police? definitely not without ongoing fierce pressure from civilians and continued creativity in non-police solutions for public safety.
- The reason for them to be there was to incite a violent response as an excuse for this admin to steal more powercontrol.
- The police, or rather the police unions, are like a fourth branch of government. They have effective veto power over elected officials.
- I have no problem with police when they do their jobs properly. That is, when they protect and serve with honor and professionalism. I have a problem with them when they abuse their power.
- A reminder that the modern police force is the descendant of the pinkertons, a private army that was hired by robber barons to beat kill striking workers.
- I believe that most police are little more than the sole option for aging school bullies that are unfit for any other employment. Power attracts those that should never have any.
- The function of police is to protect the status quo distribution of wealth and power.
2. La Cultura de Impunidad y el Código de Silencio.
Se critica la falta de consecuencias reales para los oficiales que abusan de su poder, lo que se refuerza por la "ley azul" o código de silencio. La impunidad es vista como el principal incentivo para el mal comportamiento.

3. Militarización y Tácticas de Intimidación.
La creciente militarización de las fuerzas policiales, incluyendo el uso de equipo militar y el enmascaramiento de oficiales, es vista como una táctica de intimidación que erosiona la confianza pública y señala una intención autoritaria.

4. La Necesidad de Supervisión Civil y Reforma Estructural.
Se exige una supervisión civil robusta y mecanismos de rendición de cuentas efectivos, como la abolición de la inmunidad calificada y la reestructuración de las agencias, ya que los mecanismos actuales están "rotos" o son ineficaces.

5. El Origen Histórico y la Atracción por el Poder.
