(34,845 posts)When a CEO makes the decision to reduce employee pensions, we are fond of saying "Look what the corporations are doing!" When we should be targeting the CEO who made that happen. Corporations are not people but we sometimes act like they are, even on DU.
The same thing with police malfeasance, I think. Instead of calling on "The police" (which is not someone who can react to our calls for justice) we should 'target' (and I mean this in the most peaceful way possible) the precinct captains, the union reps, etc. and hold them accountable.
Some of that is being done but not enough, IMO. It's still too easy to say "The police" instead of Mr. Carson or Ms. Louden.
