gollark: I mean, the george floyd thing. You referenced that. How are you going to change the law to fix that sort of issue?
gollark: The police do not actually, you realise, set law.

gollark: No, that is *a thing they do*, but the general point of them is to enforce laws, which happens most of the time.
