Glad to see another good post.

If you have time, I'd be interested in hearing you weigh in on anti-homeless laws and on crackdowns on non-violent activism. I've been involved in Food Not Bombs and a lot of cities have laws against sharing food with the homeless. A lot of times, cops try to intimidate FNB volunteers even if there aren't any laws against feeding the homeless. There was a protest in our city and a bunch of people were arrested (and are facing bogus charges) for speaking at an anti-Trump rally. One thing I've noticed is that cops and Americans in general hate activists especially anarchists. While I don't currently identify as an anarchist, it seems to me like an extremely rational and ethical philosophy, more so than mainstream political ideologies. I think cops should probably have to recieve some basic education on different ideologies and religions (anarchism, Islam, Hinduism, Marxism, etc.)...as well as more sociology/anthropology and maybe more psychology than they currently learn. Cops need to be able to understand and relate to the people in their community.
