Saw an icky post but i refuse to reblog it with our point because it will give them more attention, and we don't want to fight
Basically the post was saying that people that work service jobs like fast food shouldnt be given a living wage because they don't contribute to society and giving low economic families more money instead of the police is stupid.
If everyone took that logic we wouldn't have anyone in fast food jobs, so no fast food company would exist, now take into consideration alot of people work insane hours and cannot cook from the lack of knowledge on how to or exhaustion. Also just alot of people like fast food in general so...
Now cops are a tricky subject. But they are still humans, and humans can be fucking awful sometimes, and humans have biases. And people in positions of power tend to let it get to their head. So instead of giving more money to the police to give them more guns, i say the money should be put to proper training, and an external party to do investigations into the police force, and not just one, multiple. These groups cannot have direct ties to the police and must know the law.
Secondly, its proven that poverty drives people to crime, it just is. So what do I propose? Take it from the 1%, not families making 6 figures a year, people that have millions.
Is this ever going to be the case? Probably not, we live in a corrupt world.
