I just don't understand the logic here. Don't get me wrong, I'm all in favor of abolishing the Duluth Model and the requirement to incarcerate someone on a domestic violence call.
But neither this situation, nor the story you linked to seems to have much to do with that policy.
In both situations, the police acted completely out of bounds. It is a completely different problem.
The story on the website was written in 2014 about an incident that happened in 1999, that's almost 25 years ago. It can't be considered relevant today. If there's a real systemic problem of this kind, you should have at least a dozen cases like this every single year.
Hopefully, in this most recent case we'll get some body cam footage released so we find out what really happened.
And also hopefully, the body cams is what will put this guy off the force forever. It's the second time he seems to have done something like this, but I'd bet that the first time, body cams were not standard practice yet.
Seems to me that the solution to stop this kind of thing from being a common problem is body cams, and that's what we have.
Deflation is bad because you can "invest" by just keeping cash around. Which means investors aren't contributing to economic activity.
A small amount of inflation helps, because investors understand that if they're not investing the cash they have, then they're essentially losing money.
High levels of inflation is bad, because prices can change so fast that it makes commerce too difficult with prices changing too frequently.
But that's for stable levels. Salaries tend to be very vulnerable to unexpected changes in inflation/deflation because they don't change that often and they're not pegged to inflation. Which means if the money unexpectedly devalues by 20%, then you effectively get a 20% pay cut and it might not be easy to negation a rectification with your employer and meanwhile you're still underpaid.
The reverse is true with unexpected deflation, you get an effective 20% pay raise and your employer can't do anything about it except fire you or go bankrupt. This is how deflation can lead to unemployment.
So deflation might help make a bit of wealth transfer from the capitalist class to the working class. But it's very temporary and would likely come at a great cost to the overall economy.
If you want to fix wealth inequality it's really simple: tax the rich, regulate monopolies and oligopolies.
