I just can't even with this. We're looking at a culture with gigantic inertia, that seems almost impossible to change, but shining the apparatus of state surveillance back on itself seemed like (hell, SHOULD have been) a good way to at least impart a little bit of a course correction, leading to an eventually different course. Seemed like a win-win: protect the good cops, highlight the bad ones, rebuild trust: and addressing the abuse of state authority among the marginalized should have reaped huge dividends across the board in terms of said abuses for everyone. Maybe it wasn't a panacea, but it was a good place to start. It was something practical, something that might actually do something, to let us stop allowing perfect to be the enemy of good.
And then it doesn't even fucking matter anyway. Fucking fuck it all.
