This is exactly the heart of the problem. The people responsible for "keeping law and order" in the city would burn it to the ground in a heartbeat if they were faced with accountability for doing illegal shit. It's the most glaringly obvious reason to disband them if we want a longterm solution.

You are right. Look at the racist riot they held in 1992 when the CCRB was created. A bunch of drunk off duty cops calling Dinkins and the black members of city council n-words as they trashed the streets. Fuck the NYPD and anyone who supports them.

Alternate law enforcement would have to be a part of it for sure. You'd have to start with a separately run and managed force that grows over time.

And how is that so far from what they’re doing now? Only difference is how fast it happens and how much you actually see it happening.
