Have kids, be a wise choice! 😂

@lnxw37a2 @kaikatsu yeah I think so. But I think that training is constructed around what we think policing should be. If we changed police, training would change, and different people would be attracted to it. I don't know or care where the bullies will go to find jobs if they can't become a cop. I assume they'll still beat their wives in high numbers, only now would be held legally accountable for it.
@kaikatsu I have to admit that to a large extent American police are more hard core as a direct consequence of very brutal crime present in the USA. The ubiquity of firearms here also elevates the threat level of every encounter.
@moonman I don't really think there's an alternative to police aside from militia's or civilians upholding the law which would require every citizen to be willing to die for the political system which just isn't true.

I think America's shitty police are a result of the shitty culture and government. Cops in China are recorded 24/7 and HK protestors are just waiting for them to fuck up, so they really have to uphold the law properly.
@kaikatsu I'm not against exploring alternatives to police.

you want to hear something funny?

A couple months ago I was talking to some people, and mentioned that I had wondered "where do police get their legal authority?" and had studied state and national law and the origins of American police. Are police a fundamental part of government? Everyone looked at me like I was crazy. Now half that group are screaming "abolish the police!" People are fucking sheep.

If you think police officers will do a better job if you pay them less you're fooling yourself
