Maybe We Need a Law Enforcement Brainstorm
I know. How about we stop killing people while arresting them. (Do I need to say 'especially black people'?!!!)
Haven't our methods advanced since, I don't know, the earth cooled? Are there no non-lethal devices to disable and restrain and transport a suspect?
Isn't there something between patta-cake and execution? Something that's safer for cops, too, other than pavement wrestling, Grand Theft Auto, and the OK Corral?
Is the gun and the club all we've managed to come up with? Do we need more robots? More rope? More nets? More lassos and boleodoras? Is the Taser no longer a thing? Is there a pharmaceutical we might consider? Blow darts? Crippling sound and light waves?
No. Seriously. I'm asking.
What could possibly be halting our research into non-firearm solutions?
