@janisf@Lana I don't believe police are inherently bad. There does, however, seem to be a widespread culture within the US police forces that encourages bad behaviour. Unions protecting misbehaving cops from disciplinary action can be part of this.
@mansr@Lana It definitely is Circular accountabilty is a hard thing to set up, and equally hard to maintain. I'm convinced, though, that's what democracy is supposed to be about. We'lll never get there, though, if no one's willing to work collaboratively toward that goal, and we've got a "no, you go first" belligerence that pervades not just cop culture.
IMO, real science-based mental health and self-reflection contain the tiny steps that will get us there.
