Do you have any concept of the logistics and infrastructure (money and personnel) required to actually implement something like this? You're talking about video footage being recorded around the clock, uploaded to a database, and stored for a period of three years if the subject of the footage so requests, among other conditions outlined.

This would require enterprise level networking infrastructure and storage, sysadmins, tech support, the whole 9.

How do you propose to pay for all this?

I appreciate your response. If you don't actually know about Raz Simone, then you should:

My personal opinion on this situation is that's it's unacceptable, also I find the notion that people need to feel safe by creating their own "police free zones" highly dubious at best, and extremely dangerous at worst.

If there is one aspect of this that draws my attention it is that this phenomenon seems to be perpetuated by affluent whites living in majority white cities, typically on the west coast. My own interpretation is that in actuality they have no real experience in managing an urban area that is majority non-white or close to it. If this type of "police free zone" was established in a city like the one I live in (Buffalo) there would be non-stop violence. Gangs would literally go to war for control.

This all wreaks to me of hypocrisy and extreme naiveté by those perpetuating it, and is extremely dangerous.

What do you think about the new "autonomous zone" in Seattle and its new "Rapper/Warlord" leader? Is this kind of balkanization of urban centers an acceptable price to pay for stopping police violence?

Why do you place the burden of violence in black neighborhoods solely on the police, wanting to actively defund the police when just about every metric points to increased violence in black neighborhoods when policing is reduced? The most obvious recent example of that is Baltimore.

Everybody has the right to protest. Nobody has the right to riot, loot, or declare their own kingdom within the existing state. Like I said, this wreaks of an extremely immature mindset that's being enabled by weak, pandering politicians.
