The answer is to hire people who aren’t frigging morons.
BTW, we have a retired LEO in the family, and a family who was killed by a member of LE.
I’ve seen the best and worst in LE.
But lately, citizens in many places seem to be getting a lot more of the latter.
...a family member...
Agreed. We currently have our share of Military and Cops in our immediate family, too.
Growing up (in Milwaukee, not far from Waukesha) ALL of my Uncles were either cops or firefighters and all of THEIR fathers (my Great uncles) were WWII or Korean Vets.
It’s a whole new world these days. :(
We hire law enforcement now who can check all the boxes. You aren’t going to find many with high IQs or critical thinking skills. I would be surprised if many had more than even the most basic reading skills.
