In the wake of historical #policeviolence against marginalized groups, followed by historical police violence against people protesting the original police violence, there are always calls by people who care about violence to address the underlying root causes. Addressing root causes–such as reducing inequality or making specific investments in housing, health care, education, transportation, toxic cleanup, nutritious food, sustainable ecological practices, the arts, and building strong networks of community members helping themselves through mutual aid and self-empowerment—are mostly ignored by politicians, even though evidence suggests that these strategies lead to short, medium, and long-term violence reduction.[1]
Instead, the segment of the public who cares about improving the lives of marginalized people is distracted and ultimately appeased with the promise of a “reform” like the #bodycamera.
