The rest of that sentence sucks too. Cops often just turn their body cameras off, and plenty of cops are caught on camera shooting people and get away with it (the murders of Tamir Rice and Philando Castile immediately come to mind). The other two "reforms" are so vague as to be meaningless.
300M is basically nothing relative to the size of police department budgets, anyway. That's half of the annual budget of Houston Police Department. One city. It's all empty rhetoric.
Empty or not, here's your alternative:
Buffalo protester shoved by Police could be an ANTIFA provocateur. 75 year old Martin Gugino was pushed away after appearing to scan police communications in order to black out the equipment. @oann I watched, he fell harder than was pushed. Was aiming scanner. Could be a set up?
While the parties often differ so slightly in policies often benefiting the rich, A /= B in this case. You won't see Trump or the Republican Party proposing solutions.
Would there be a meaningful difference? Maybe? I haven't read the Democrats' plan yet, only some of the main points. If there is any hope for something better, the article does offer this:
All of the members are working just days after Democrats unveiled their own proposal, which went further in dictated specific changes that state and local police forces should make including banning chokeholds.
Either way, we're not going to get major change yet because the house and senate won't agree on much besides fluff. We all know that. They'll have to send to the President who may or may not be willing to sign legislation. He'll want to play both sides as our Law and Order President and because MAGA loves black people.
Understand that your oppressors aren't going to deliver you top down answers.
The answers have been put out there, it's forcing legislatures into action and often to fear for their seats. We are seeing CEO's, entertainers, business owners, correctional facility workers go down in flames as we start exposing from the ground up their nature/nurture. The answers are forcing the defunding of police dept's that are out of proportion with the budgets of the towns they are sworn to protect and serve. Federal democrats in it's current session are not going to provide you with answers because very few of them will pass or have real meaning. Force them to listen to grassroots leaders with your voice and votes. The primary went relatively left-progressive considering the push we have been going at.
I can't tell you to keep marching for a year. But things like this change by overwhelming the system. It's power is making people uncomfortable and history shows that it works only when pressure is applied. Expect to keep protesting until next year and you see actionable changes in businesses and the way people speak and act on topics.

White women love to dish it out but get really uncomfortable when confronted about their bullshit actions. Watch this racist blame the looting and being tired of all this for why she called another driver the N word. Always play the victim

I’m slowly radicalizing my parents. Moms all in on abolishing the police.
Dad still thinks that BLM/Antifa are taking over the country and causing chaos and destruction. Fox News earlier was portraying a city council member leading a group of protesters into the city council to listen to speeches and spread the word as "taking over 6 blocks of the city" so we know where his head is at. Mom isn't supportive of cops killing black people but she also REALLY hates it when protesters block traffic and doesn't understand why they can't just protest off to the side without bothering people. She also makes casual jokes about hitting protesters with her car.
I don't think I will ever change their minds about much. I need to get out of NY.
definitely helps that my parents are already very liberal.

I feel like more than radicalizing friends and family, we are normalizing these types of policies so that they are more accessible to everyone. Which is amazing. And you are your mom are amazing too

normalizing Bernie Sanders for the last 6 years has definitely worked in favor of it. I agree that my mom is amazing. Hopefully people like you and I can continue to bring change. 💪✊🤝

Shit, if anything, my parents are radicalising me. They say people become more conservative as they get older, but nobody passed that memo along to my folks. We have friction here and there like any family, but I am very grateful that our biggest political argument is whether Trump is literally Hitler, or merely Pol Pot Jr.
My mom in the '90s: I vote Democrat, but not all Republicans are bad people. My mom in the '20s: Anyone who can stand by that orange piece of shit is a fucking Nazi and I've washed my hands of them.
(The biggest actual disagreement I can think of is that my middle brother still supports the death penalty - which is ironic, since he's otherwise the most firebrand liberal out of all of us. I have a first cousin once removed who voted for Bush twice for tax reasons, but even he drew the line at Trump.)
well finished up a mighty busy day by coming clean to my mom about all my (not great behavior on my part) encounters with police and asked her to consider the priveledge i was afforded by just being who i am. and then i emailed my department head in response to what they could do to help with a long form take on the overall representation on AA's in our department (pretty much none) and in our college (less than the University as a whole).
just have had no time to protest but felt like those are my best targets for my view atm

Dual citizen - mum's American and dad's Australian. I lived in NYC from birth to age 6, Sydney 6 to 13, Boston / New Hampshire 13 to 25, and Sydney again 25 to present (33 now).
I know you didn't ask for the whole rundown, but I've done that song-and-dance enough times that it's just easier this way.

Smart to push the Australian angle these days. Although my math tells me you are slightly more American; just a few more years to go...
