The police should not do anything ever. At least not to a person who isn’t a white person. And probably not even then unless he’s committing a serious crime like not wearing a mask while walking his dog in a public park.
There is absolutely no reason for the police to shoot anyone ever. Unless they’re protesting a lockdown in which case they’re racists who are spreading the virus and then it’s okay.
The police should not even really exist. As everyone who reads the New York Times knows, the police were invented by the KKK in 1619 to keep newly freed slaves in line. Since then, the police, which never existed before 1619, spread all over the country in a racist conspiracy.
Most European countries don’t have the police and do perfectly fine without them. Japan has no police and has never had a single murder. Ever.
Unfortunately America is a backward country and we have so many police and so many murders, yet we never make the obvious connection that we have so many murders because we have so many police.
Some people unwisely ask what we should do if there’s an active shooter. The obvious answer is that if we got rid of the NRA and banned guns, there would be no shooters. Also most crime would go away if we just gave people more money and then they wouldn’t need to steal.
The best evidence-based research from scientists says that police are dangerous and that we can build a much safer society without them.
