This criticism of police abolition would work better if it didn't so precisely describe the state of affairs we have now. Sooooo, serial killers and rapists should just be ignored an
Can you imagine if serial killers and rapists were ignored and allowed to roam free? Serial killer Stephen Miller and his wife.Rapists Brett Kavanaugh and Donald Trump.
Truly do believe that when people defend police over half of them are defending television police and haven't examined their assumptions.
Yes. Every Republican in the Senate is a serial killer, too.
An important question.
Honestly I can't imagine a more attractive occupation for a criminally minded person in the United States right now than a police officer.

You get to hurt people, you get to steal, you get to abuse your power, you have powerful people protecting your immunity for all of it.
I suggest 100% of police s/b fired and leadership replaced by people in the communities who have been leading reform efforts, assisted by international observation from anti-extremism and democratic stability organizations.

Police should be welcome to re-apply for their jobs.

VICE is, in my opinion, not half-bad. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
The good includes Bale's performance; actor-stunt weight gain mimicry aside, it's an impressive look at a truly banal evil.

The bad includes the McCay bag of meta-tricks, most of which worked well in The Big Short but which almost all seem ill-considered here, especially ...
... the far too expository, never-needed voiceover, which never justifies itself, even once the nature of its source is finally revealed.

But good to have a reminder of what soulless monsters every Bush-era crony has always been, and how destructive 2000-08 was.

One thing we now know to a reasonable degree of certainty is that if saying "Merry Christmas" killed the person you said it to, it would make conservative Christians want to say it more, not less.

To white American conservative Christians it sure seems to be.

If the only answer to abusive people is successfully persuading them not to be abusive...

Then the abuse becomes everyone else’s fault, for not catering to the abuser sufficiently enough to persuade him.

Which is exactly the way an abusive person wants you to think.

So, don’t.
Our goal is not persuading abusive people. Our goal is stopping them.

If an abuser proved willing to be persuaded, then persuade them.

If not, abandon persuasion, and stop them some other way.
Insisting that persuasion is our goal seems like the moral position, because persuading people to do good is good.

But making it the goal is actually an immoral position. It makes persuasion a prerequisite. It cedes power to the abuser and responsibility to the abused.

Don't.

No.

People who do shameful things should be ashamed, and if they aren’t, then others should shame them, to give them a chance to learn the rudimentary difference between right and wrong they should have mastered by age three.

This is a society. Other people exist.
Enablement of abusive behavior isn’t morality. It’s abuse.

INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS is, in my opinion, very good. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ½
I still put PULP FICTION higher (and maybe RESERVOIR DOGS? needs a rewatch) but this is the one where almost every Tarantino outré impulse works like crazy for me.
There are at least 3 different registers happening simultaneously ranging from Hollywoodish realism to modern expressionistic Shoshanna parts to Brad Pitt's broad cartoon all filtered through exploitation film and it s/b a total mess (and for some it is) but for me it just slays.
