Please note the claim that it decreases police violence by 72% is only if the department has NONE of the policies and adopts all eight. D.C. has seven of these policies implemented already. NYC & Minneapolis already has four. Los Angeles and Oakland has five. Albuquerque has six.
Also a reminder that Deray is who he is because the NYT gave him a magazine spread. No one acknowledges this man as a leader but himself and he is not accountable to anyone.
Deray & the rest of Campaign Zero are derailing the movement so they can get some easy 'wins' that they can brag about on their grant applications and use to get speaking gigs. Mayors & governors will use these meaningless demands to push off calls to defund police depts.
If anyone needs a reminder, we are where we are today partially because the cops do not follow rules. More rules is not a logical response to this.
And please note, there are inaccuracies in their data:
Given that some of their data is inaccurate, I think it’s important for local organizers/researchers to look at their data on the city level on their website (8cantwait.org) and fact check it.
okay, last thing on the #8cantwait campaign. It analyzes police depts that have these rules versus police depts that don't instead of analyzing within police departments *before* and *after* they implemented these rules. It also depends on police departments for use of force data
