"The white supremacist institution of policing that stole Breonna Taylor's life from us must be abolished for the safety and well being of our people."
Statistically there is no evidence of systemic racism in policing.
Asians are the least likely to be stopped by police and least likely to have bad outcomes with police. White supremacy?
White men are more likely to get shot by cops than black women. White patriarchy?
The gap in police stops and shootings is bigger between men and women than the gap between blacks and whites.
The gap between young adults and old adults is bigger than the gap between blacks and whites.
Why is this? Because men and young adults commit more crimes and resist arrest at significantly higher rates than women or adult adults.
Fact is when measuring groups you have to look at their crime statistics.
Just another leftist who cares more about the criminals than they do the victims. I’m getting tired of watching liberals fall all over themselves to defend these thugs. What about the victims of drugs and dealers? Think about it, breonna likely had a hand in ruining people’s lives by helping people push drugs. That does not make her a nice person, just the opposite. I wonder if she helped get any kids addicted?
People that have the idiotic idea of abolishing the police and prisons don’t have the intellectual depth to think thru their belief to its logical conclusion. We live in one of the most heavily armed countries in the world. If there are no police, that means for all intents and purposes there is no law. The entire country will be like some Wild West town. We would become a nation of vigilantes. If the leftists that spew this nonsense are outraged over the small number of police killings of unarmed blacks, just wait until mob rule and vigilante justice takes over. The outcome of their proposal will be thousands of dead people.
The same ones that want to defund the police want gun bans.

Look at prisons in other countries like Iseland(forgot exactly where). But it’s less hostile and actually has way less recidivism..
We aren’t Iceland. Our population, demographics, crime rate, and culture are totally different. It’s naive to believe that what might work in Iceland would work here. Iceland is demographically homogeneous and has a total population of less than 400,000 people.
I think Kapernick must have taken too many hits to the ol dome.
Can't imagine making a such a completely absurdly asinine comment talking about things such as abolishing police and prisons.
