Okay, taking ideas for squares on my new game:

🐖 🐖 🐖 🐖
Bad Cop Bingo
🐖 🐖 🐖 🐖

Premise:
Can we do a worse job of finding the bad cops than the actual cops?
Seems highly unlikely.

Talking about squares like:
👮🏻‍♂️ Involved in the death of a Black person
👮‍♀️ Involved in the death of an Indigenous person
👮🏻‍♂️ Involved in the injury of a Black person
👮‍♀️ Involved in the injury of a Indigenous person
👮🏻‍♂️ Involved in a "wellness check gone wrong"

As you can see, some cops are going to qualify for multiple just from the same event.

Feel free to DM your response.

It's not being limited to 24 squares, because we're going to be printing up randomized, distinct cards. Some of the squares will contain badge numbers for local cops, but you could definitely take the ideas and make it apply to your city.

(I don't think ANYBODY'S going to enjoy my parting ways with the MDC.)

It's worth taking a cop watch training* for a much more detailed understanding of police tactics and markers. It will be specific to your area, so that you know what to look for with your local policing bodies.

It may or may not involve learning about dearrest techniques — which is a separate topic — and none of it is mandatory. If today you are only comfortable stopping and watching the cops as they interact with members of the public, it's a good and helpful step on your journey.

(That is not a shameless plug, as I only teach preliminaries as part of a broader rights-training and sousveillance session.)
