You’re quite the dreamer. 

You should put world peace on the list while you’re at it...

I'm saying what needs to be done not that it will be done.

"We need to do this thing that has been tried over and over again and has failed over and over again."

You can't reform it. You can try to rebuild it but first you need to fire every single cop, dismantle every police union, and disband every department and start all over from scratch.

This crazy person Congresswoman's solution to these problems:  "No more policing, incarceration, and militarization. It can't be reformed."

We need people to enforce the law and to defend borders from countries/people who mean us harm.  Yes it can be reformed, there's no other choice.  You just need major reform, and very strict accountability and oversight.  Officers do these things because they are poorly trained and they know they can get away with it.

Big week for the "bad apples"

Boston police union president was an alleged child molester for years...and the department knew it

Virgina cops sued after threatening Black serviceman during traffic stop
Cop who "accidentally" shot 20 year old was a veteran of nearly 25 years

And then here's what happens to the good apples:

Buffalo Police Officer Cariol Horne fired by the city for trying to stop a fellow officer who put a man in a chokehold gets her pension back

like did Ontario Cons think no one would check? These 'hot spots' getting vaccine priority are less hard-hit by COVID-19 than Ontario average

Ford gov trying to genocide people who don't vote for them, and save the lives of people who do?

That's...quite the serious allegation.  Something does look a bit fishy.  From the article:

"Five postal code zones declared as hot spots have rates of COVID-19 cases, hospitalization and death that are actually below the provincial averages, according to data compiled by ICES, a research institute focused on health issues in Ontario.

The designation of hot spot gives people in those areas higher priority for vaccinations, despite their lower-than-average pandemic burden. More than 175,000 people live in the five postal codes zones, four of them in ridings represented by Progressive Conservative MPPs.

CBC's review of the data identified seven postal code zones that have felt a greater impact from COVID-19 as measured by the province's official criteria, yet are not classed as hot spots. All are located in ridings held by the opposition parties."
