- Police abolition and the “defund police” movement have been simmering for a while but entered the national conversation after George Floyd’s death and the protests that followed. In this panel discussion, experts discuss police abolition, what it means, what it doesn't mean, and what public safety could look like without policing as we know it today.
Georgetown Law Professor from Practice Christy Lopez moderates a panel that includes Professor Allegra McLeod, Howard Law Professor Justin Hansford (L’07), and Relman Colfax Associate Tahir Duckett (L’17).
Captions will be added to this video no later than June 26.
Thank you Georgetown Law for posting video.
Unfortunately nobody addresses the real issue. What is world without police ? They talked about how most officers don't do anything preventive but that's because people know there is police out there. What would it be like when people realize there isn't police? What will criminals, mafia, gangs all will do at that point knowing no police to stop them ?
If we took steps to prevent them from forming wouldn't that be better? for example do you think some dude making 90k a year would join the mafia and throw away his career? risk his stable life family and job to commit a crime that would harm is community?
You’re still trapped by an assumption - your idea that ‘people know there is police out there’ inhibits them from crime. I don’t know why anyone would believe in deterrence. There is so little evidence for it. You’re also forgetting some key ways in which the very existence of police and jails only leads to MORE crime. This is literally nothing new.
You weren’t listening. 45:50. You’re one of those people who still assumes that police departments are ‘creators of public safety’
World has gone mad.
These comments are rough.
Kum ba yah
I bet all of their doors are locked during this conversation.
Professor Lopez, can you stop using Latinx. I am not Latinx I am Latino.
Latinx is a colonizer term telling Spanish speakers that they know better then us.
Latinx is not possible to be spoken in Spanish
Police abolition is uncivilized thought which grew from social issues as direct result of unjustifiable personal behavior---such as careless health habits as evidenced by the masses of death in the virus episode, the public safety is the responsibility of every citizen and the balance of the complaint is nothing more than unjustifiable acts of MINORITY government system. THE REMEDY IS A COMPLETE CHANGE OF MINDSET BY THE PARTIES ON BOTH SIDES WITHOUT PRIDE AND POWER STRUGGLE. IF THE ANIMAL KINGDOM LIVE IN HARMONY WITH RESPECT TO EACH OTHER, THEN, HUMAN BEINGS WHO CAN REASON MUST RESOLVE THE ISSUES FACING THEM. COLLATERAL ISSUE IS THE CIVIL WAR BLACKS AND WHITES ARE ENGAGED IN FOR THE LAST 300 YEARS WHICH MUST BE ABOLISHED NOT THE POLICE. THE POLICE VIOLENCE IS POOR TRAINING ACCOMPANIED BY BUILT IN PERSONAL SUPERIORITY WHICH THE SYSTEM ALLOWED THEM. THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM IS RUN BY THE VERY GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM. THAT IS THE FIRST PLACE TO RE-EXAMINE SO THAT IT WON'T EXASPERATE THE ISSUES BLACKS AND WHITES ARE STRUGGLING SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THE COUNTRY.
These people are nuts.
I bet all these people, who have excelled (hopefully) by merit, are all devout to the hammer and sickle.
These people have all the answers but no society has ever implemented these ideas?
No they don't - George Floyd didn't matter we should have shrugged his death off and ignored it.
Why are these people working in law but don’t seem to believe in it? Funny isn’t it that if we describe a society as ‘lawless’ I’d expect 99% of us wouldn’t want to live there but that seems to be what they’re proposing.
Abolishing the police has got to be one of the stupidest ideas in history.
Oh what would the world do without brake light laws
Lol, I don't disagree what you're saying, but that's called restructuring public safety, not abolishing police.For a group of well educated individuals, yes police don't get much done. But ask one of your psychology colleagues about the nature of a human that feels there is nothing there to deture them from crime. F the police just so you know. Yes we need more of a diverse public safety system, in the form public schooling ie taking money from more wealthy school areas and reallocating to where is needed (rich people can go f off), public health care physical and mental, better investment in low income neighborhoods. Less but better educated police, Japan is a great quick example. More social worker with increased funding. And homes that people can affors a build up them self's, both financially and emotionally
The moment you called George Floyd a "brutal" killing you showed your ineptitude and dishonesty. Stopped listening after that. Honesty must prevail.
Ah ok, so sorry for triggering you. How come you didn’t suggest a different term? Was George Floyd’s death a ‘nice’ killing or a benevolent soft murder?
If at georgetown law felt the need to discuss this nonsense. We are at the end.
Yes abolish all law enforcement. I for one would welcome the idea of rich and middle class Americans ceasing income tax payments. Business owners’ sales taxes (not sure how that works over there in the US) would not be paid over either. This will have the happy effect of facilitating better self-defence and a competent, aggressive privatised police force for the hard-working lower to upper middle class and rich and do away with public universities and the left-wing twats they contain.
