Spot on, well said.
It is scary when a right wing forum that is solidly middle class to upper middle class demonstrates a collective weakening of support for cops. What does that say about the police? I hope they get the message and reverse their current militarized “us vs them” attitude. I’m dreaming, I know. Just as bureaucracies only grow more restrictive, I think police forces only grow more authoritative.
Power corrupts and the police have had a lot of power for a long time.
