How will that work? They don't want cops, but they want to report hate crimes to the cops? Does this include using the "wrong" pronouns?

[@you900001]

How about focusing on real crime?

One step closer to Govt Gestapo. Yeah, bc this will never be abused and used for false claims /s.

Hate is subjective,, this is a bunch of Karen’s justifying their own crazy way of thinking.

[@janeclayton151]

Wow! this is dystopian woke nonsense unless someone is actually being threatened.

[@GUINEAPIGPOPPER]
