The activists, who flooded after the death of city streets of George Floyd all agree in principle on the systemic injustice that caused the nationwide uprising. Everyone wants the mass imprisonment order, dismantling structural racism and end police killings of the men and women of color across the country. But the tactical differences have emerged between the different camps of activists in the seven years since Black lives matter became the first cry of a national struggle. Some activists have successfully pushing bulls with cameras Body equip a reformist approach, requiring implicit bias training and promote community policing. Others do not see these measures, the number of black deaths in the hands of the police force to be reduced to more aggressive strategies in the police complex weaken or eliminate. All these activists are committed to the same aims, but all do not agree on the means. There are three large fields and overlap within the large network of decentralized activists that make up the movement for racial justice in America. The first representatives of a range of reforms to create more accountability for police departments and strictly regulate the use of force, informed by what has and has not worked in the past. The second will be more and more beneficial to the police departments termination of funding, led by the police away taxpayers’ money and social services that the black community. but also to redirect the ultimate goal of police departments went funding, he sees this as a step towards ultimate goal of abolishing all police. how to make some of the leaders in the field together for reform after protests Ferguson bands Zero campaign organizations. “In 2014 we were in the early stages of learning solutions. We knew how to protest, but we do not know the answers,” says Deray McKesson, civil rights activist and co-founder of the Campaign zero. “We knew that things had worked here and there, but we did not know what could be a scaled solution.” Over the past six years, he says McKesson is zero campaign learned what does not work. More body cameras, policing, the mental health support for officers, training implicit prejudice and police officers of color, has all the reforms that have been tested in various departments. But fewer people actually killed by the police does not mean that McKesson says. “I think it was a time when people thought the training would be useful to policing could be useful,” he says. “There is a consensus now that these things do not work.” Instead, McKesson says campaign focus on strategies to zero, “reduced power” and is “the shrink role of” existing police departments. One step is to get contracts to free the police union, he says that often protect and prevent bad cops to police chiefs and mayors of major reforms. A 2018 University of Chicago study found that a union to offices in Florida sheriffs were allowed to violent behavior, such as the incident Use of force majeure by 40% (from a very low level, according to the researchers). University of Chicago professor of Dhammika Dharmapala law, co-author of the study, said the results suggested “a strong proportional increase once an agency has the right to unionise.” Campaign Zero has a set of eight specific use-Of-identified political force that together, police violence could reduce by more than 70%, according to the group. These include chokeholds ban and inductors; De-escalation require; require officers to give a warning of the recording; Out of all other means before recording; from other agents and report stop intervening request official and immediately used their strength too; Prohibition shoot at moving vehicles; When a force may be used governmental regulations development; and officers need to file reports every time you use force. Already, the hashtag # 8CantWait went viral on social media, as activists their local guides these specific reforms to call. Celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and Jack Dorsey came to support and Zero campaign says government officials in San Antonio, Houston and Los Angeles has heard. Proponents of this approach note that unlike long struggles for budget cuts, many of these measures can be implemented immediately. “The police here today,” says McKesson. “And now they may have less power.” But other activists are skeptical that the reforms will be enough to stem the violence. Some have noted that the versions of some of these policies have been implemented in cities around the country, and the blacks also continue to die. There is a growing feeling inside of a large part of the movement that the police is inherently violent and racist, that no amount of reform will always solve the problem, and that a real solution requires a total rethinking of the police. Instead, these activists say police should or significantly defunded or even completely abolished. The taxpayer dollars spent on the police, according to them, the social programs should be redirected, or stopped black communities could strengthen the violence before it starts. Alicia Garza, founder of The Black Future Lab and one of the women who coined the phrase #BlackLivesMatter says that existed even after 26 laws of penal reform in 2013, in 40 States “has not changed much.” Over a thousand people were killed in police custody each year, according MappingPoliceViolence.org, and the victims are black still disproportionately. Therefore Garza believes real change involves stem the flow of money to the tax police. “Overwhelmingly, the largest share of most city budgets and the state budget is in relation to the police and militarism,” says Garza. “Every car that you see on the road, will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars that could be used for affordable housing, crown and elastic support test.” The presence of security forces in protests nationwide the immense resources channeled to the local police on show were left struggling as doctors and nurses COVID-19 without sufficient equipment or supplies. To this end, activists and large major funding reductions of police institutions in the city budget request. The ACLU recently called defund prosecution and reinvest in communities of color. After pressing for raises for the police officers, the mayor of Los Angeles Eric Garcetti now says that he plans to make to the police budget cuts. In New York, activists are asking the mayor Bill de Blasio to cut the budget $6000000000 of the NYPD. invite some of the activists to stop the funding of the police authorities to abolish view it as a step towards the ultimate goal of the police. “Now should not even be a democratic moderate who does not believe that we take should be resources to police departments, and reinvest black future for the building,” says Jessica Byrd, founder of three-point strategy, which brings the choice of Justice project in the movement for black life. Ending violence of the police, says Byrd, a “radical change in the police, not a bit ‘, not reform, not the cam body, no new training,” he asked, he says, but “a radical change in the way we think the protection of our municipalities and public safety ” and ‘Enraging that this radical “adds Byrd. “I said that tax dollars should not fund these helicopters is radical.” Although police the abolition correctly can be politically impossible now, experts say the movement, the basis for a long-term shift set to keep the best people safe. “No one is able to, let’s say tomorrow flip a magic switch, and there are no police,” said Alex Vitale, a sociology professor at Brooklyn College and author of The End of police. But he points to other sectors of society, developed in consensus that the police are not the solution: sent in rich white communities, for example, if a young person ‘caught with drugs, usually in rehab, not prison. “The call people who have a great conversation about the kind of society that we, that both police and prisons requires,” says Vitale. “And he is trying to start a conversation, what would a world look like without this.” copyright Image of Malike Sidibe for TIME
