105. Apparently, we're supposed to ignore that
and think "THIS TIME it will work!".
Fact is, police "unions" are the biggest hurdle to any substantial change to police culture. It has been growing more violent, more militarized, and frankly, more racist in recent years. "Warrior Training", teaching cops that they are fighting insurgents (that's us, the citizens of the towns and cities they work in), and just generally making an assumption that everyone is the enemy. |
