Quote by Alec Karakatsanis

“When police violence reemerges as a sustained news theme every few years, the words "accountability" and "transparency" are sprinkled into story after story and used as a substitute for informed discussion about the terrible track record of specific policies and broader discussions about how and whether it's even possible to make armed police forces less violent and corrupt as they are currently constituted.”
