In the days after Floyd,
in the face of BLM,
in the choice to defund police,
we have the option to make daring decisions
and see if cops are the one-size-fits-all approach
to our social dilemmas
or if we can figure out more nuanced solutions to issues we face.

Perhaps mental health financing could be considered
rather that battering rams
or EMTs instead of shotguns
or seasoned tape kit workers instead of SWAT teams.

Random thoughts for a reactionary world.
