And in Fort Worth, Texas, last year, an officer shot Atatiana Jefferson through her bedroom window while responding to a call about an open door.⁠ ⁠ “If I had never dialed the police department, she’d still be alive,” Jefferson’s neighbor, James Smith, later told The Washington Post.⁠ ⁠ George Floyd, Eric Garner, Michael Brown and Tamir Rice — police killed all these men after someone dialed 911 to report a trivial, routine, nonviolent concern.⁠ ⁠ It shouldn’t be like this. But in America in 2020, calling the police to report anything but the most urgent, severe threats has a significant chance of making things worse.⁠ ⁠ Much of that has to do with how police are funded and trained — and how society has underfunded alternatives to policing. But individual actions matter too, especially when they can lead to fatal interactions. To help readers think through whether or not to call the police, HuffPost examined 16 scenarios that commonly involve dialing 911, everything from witnessing acts of vandalism to having your identity stolen to mental health concerns.⁠ ⁠ These aren’t hard and fast rules. Every situation will vary, and we urge you to use common sense. We’re presenting a series of scenarios and questions to help you better understand the problem, the potential consequences and the immediate alternatives. And because we believe in systemic change, we’ve included ideas about how you might invest your energy if you want to create better programs in your community, as well as resources and organizations that can help.⁠ ⁠ Read more at our link in bio.」8月25日 4時20分
