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: If part of your concern is institutional racism or whatever, how are law changes going to fix it?
gollark: No, that is *a thing they do*, but the general point of them is to enforce laws, which happens most of the time.
gollark: Yes, some police do bad things, but that doesn't mean all of them do, so "What good things do either us police or army do" is very hyperbolic.
