@dalias @bmalsuj It's an interesting take, and while I get the accuracy of it, I'm not sure it's pure entirely because it depends on how "crime" is defined. Threre are very separate, and likely more than a couple, definitions. I've long purported that belief drives action.

It's a function of the patriarchy, IMO, that tells cops and their policy makers they can do no wrong in uniform. Plus, we know how good men who love fancy guns are at introspection.
