What is to be done?

Do we dispense with police forces and rely on local committees of vigilance?

Do we dispense with police forces and leave law enforcement up to the citizens themselves?

Do we disarm police?

In other words, please shift from "what's wrong" to "what's to be done."


What's wrong is more fun and interesting.

There's nothing that can be done until the Blue Code of Gay Silence is broken and shattered by some cops with both morals and testicles. A similar mentality exists in the military and it's wrong there as well, even more wrong I'd say because the military is very forgiving of genuine mistakes made under stress.

What's funny is when you hear stuff like I can't speak out "I got a family to support." Hmmmm, that's the same line a lot of drug dealers, thiefs and robbers use. Funny indeed.
