I say a spiritual dimension has been left out of this picture.

The discussion is being framed as pro- or anti-police when it really ought to be about social morality goals and means in a classic Judeo-Christian (and especially Christian) light. Once we have a grip on God, everybody should be respecting that, from the president down to the peasant.

Theodore Dalrymple has written some amazing works exploring what the erosion of values-set in motion by the elites-has done to society, and to the underclass in particular.

Even though he's not a believer, I think he makes a compelling case against the untethered hedonism and materialism that's come to dominate the West, especially over the past century.
