The more one learns about the intricacies of police depts, their funding, their militarization, how they terrorize Black lives to justify fed grants (& their job), corrupt DAs, judges & whole damn system... you inevitably transform into a police abolitionist. It can’t be reformed

While I know American policing can’t be reformed, you still find yourself fighting for bandaid reforms cuz even the mildest tinkering still has life and death implications. But white supremacy is so baked into U.S. policing, “fixing” it is inherently impossible. Inherently.
