    Like, no, i get it, what people should take from this is that they had all this fucking money and tech and failed because they did not want to do anything, which should be the point like WHY GIVE THEM MORE MONEY IF THE REASON THEY ARE FAILLING IS NOT A FINANCIAL PROBLEM BUT A INSTITUTIONAL ONE like matty is an asshole and one of the worst people on twitter but to look at this and think that the police is not deeply flawed is insane, like the bare minimum that should be done is a total police reform, but no matthew want the capitol to have snipers that will not be used next time something like this happens again

      they had all this fucking money and tech and failed because they **did not want ** to do anything

      preach lol

      To fix the police would require a reform so thorough it may as well be abolished and substituted. There is reactionaryism at every level, it's really beyond saving how infected and decrepit it is as an institution.
