There's no scenario in which we aren't seeing videos of people being killed by police 6 or 8 years from now. However, the existence of those videos will have no correlation to whether systemic changes are being undertaken and fewer people are actually being killed by police. |
^^ What Pepsi said.
I do take issue with the idea that the affects will take "decades". Is that the pace of progress we are looking for? I think there has been a significant change in the last 6 months or so as to what police actions are acceptable. I attribute much of that to the social unrest currently on exhibit in the US.
None of which to say that the rate will drop to zero, ever.
