from another thread since "vote or die" niggas always cry how (the other option never speaks on alternatives)

The alternative is the following:

• encourage every black n brown person within your community to get a license (and i aint talking cars)

• learn/start teaching your community things about sustainability like gardening, organizing, mass lunches, etc. (listing examples)

• community policing (a part of Brownsville did this for a couple months and crime was at a drastically lower rate)

• eventually, come to the conclusion this system we have was meant to fail/set up in a way where the rich was always coming out on top and the poor to come up short (no such thing as a middle class tbh) and inevitably (we not gon have a choice unless you can move tbh) it’s gon prolly have to come to revolt in order to rid us of this said system

Tl;dr: we gotta be like Kenya tbh.

In 2011, the LAPD launched its first Community Safety Partnership (CSP) in partnership with the Urban Peace Institute and the city’s housing authority. Officers selected for the pilot program received a different set of skills than most cops. They were shown how to spot signs of post-traumatic stress and mental illness which could cause violent behavior. They were specifically trained to work with kids and teens, as up to 40 percent of all residents of public housing are under 18. And they agreed to devote five years to the same neighborhood—long enough to learn residents’ names.
The first CSPs began with officers patrolling a handful of densely populated public housing communities in Watts. One of those officers was LAPD Lieutenant Emada Tingirides, who recently spoke about the effectiveness of the program at a race and justice summit sponsored by The Atlantic. She had grown up in South LA and believed she understood the community’s challenges—until she started walking in Watts, she said. “I thought I was an expert on my job until I let my community teach me.”
Foot beats changed the community dynamic. Not only were smaller issues like graffiti and vandalism easier to see and fix on foot, police could have daily check-ins with elderly residents and small business owners. Cops on foot helped kids get to school on neutral paths that didn’t cross into contested gang territory. Soon, police officers found themselves taking on new roles, like coaching sports teams and leading Girl Scout troops.
Most notably, over the first three years, homicides plummeted by 50 percent.

I would like to point out that CA AG's role is not to process weed cases and as DA of SF, 45 out of ~1900 weed cases saw jail time
