What oversight at all? Isn't self-investigation the tired joke that is our reality of police brutality?
That's the whole point of the article
Phoenix officials have offered assurances that police reforms will continue, despite President Donald Trump’s order ending federal scrutiny of alleged misconduct by local law enforcement.
Right now, it’s either no oversight or “you’re not fascist enough” oversight, so …
Yep, which leaves all of us citizens stuck between a violently racist organization that has lied to us repeatedly and another violently racist organization that has lied to us repeatedly. Fun times /s
If only there was a violently anti-racist organization.
Police corruption and lack of accountability is a feature, not a bug, of the system.
I think this goes well beyond "reform" and more like "rebuild from scratch."
Why rebuild it?
I don't want the power vacuum left by removing policing to be filled by private enterprise. Amazon run police would be worse, probably.
"Included now in amazon prime: Same day detective work when you're robbed! Non-prime users pay $88, and the detective will arrive within 14 days."
I think I remember a sketch about this from ages ago with stephen fry in it.
we have a for-profit prison system and autonomous police agencies that are immune to law. the vacuum is currently filled by enterprise. your worst case has already happened.

At least right now if someone breaks into my house, I don't have to pay the police to come make a report or whatever.
But to your point, the current state of things is also really bad, yes.
right now if someone breaks into your mom's house, all the police do is file a report. your family will have already been hurt by the time they get there. they are not protecting us.
edit: sorry, I appreciate that you are being cooperative even though i'm antagonistic. this issue really bothers me lol. anyway. have a good weekend
Right. The robbery example is close to mind because someone broke into my house once, and they stole my partner at the time's work laptop. We needed the police report to give to their workplace (I guess so they'd believe us it was stolen, or so their insurance would believe us). It was a bad situation, but it could've been worse if the police were like "Sorry, you're not a subscriber".
They did eventually catch the guy, but we didn't get our stuff back. I don't think they made any effort to return it. I think we both agree that the current system is really bad.
i'm really sorry that happened. i was once attacked by my partner in my home. cops showed up after he left. i'm in agreement that the current system is really bad.
