I dismiss your dismissal. I make an excellent point.

You made several good points. And you're right that the ‘broken window’ thing worked in New York. And then it worked ‘too well’... citizens went from being happy to being harassed. And other cities picked up on it... fads are big in police department. Think ‘community policing’ etc.

So, I believe you're right about all of that...

My concern is the point where it became ‘police vs citizens’... and the militarization of the police as we know them... Opps company just arrived... later.
