Which of the videos was the most thought-provoking to you and why? 2. What should the function of the police force be? 3. What requirements should be in place to join the force? 4. What have your experiences been with police? Have they been different in different regions or countries? 5. Are the police under obligation to try to help before attacking, even if it puts them in danger? 6. Given the level of militarization to the police force in some parts of the world, can ordinary citizens be blamed for being mistrustful? 7. Is "Defund The Police" the only answer, or is there still hope for meaningful reform? 8. Is it more reasonable for the police to use violence than it is for ordinary citizens, or should police be held to a higher standard? 9. Should a different group entirely be created for community safety and crime prevention? Could police departments be divided into different sections for different tasks efficiently? Will new departments be trustworthy to citizens if they appear under the auspices of the police department? 10. Feel free to ask your question to the group on this topic Please remember to watch at least a few videos before you arrive since we’ll be discussing them when we begin. Once the hangout begins, everyone will introduce each other and then take turns asking the provided questions in order to keep the discussion on topic. Hangouts typically last 90 minutes, and once the hangout is over you will have the opportunity to add people to your buddytree to organize private hangouts and develop friendships. As always, these hangouts provide the opportunity for a thoughtful, respectful and engaging discussion in a safe space where disrespectful behaviour is not tolerated.
