Jesus; surely you comprehend the fact performance of ‘policing’ is infinitely beyond mere ‘training?” There are the ‘rules’ for public consumption which are superseded by the ‘way it’s done.” The expansive litany of unwritten rules!

It is an institutionalized mindset having accrued since 1789 … a self-justifying worldview as it were. Arrogant abuse resides in the DNA of the function; better yet, the DOS of legitimated domination. Stop and examine the essence of the guns, barges, black uniforms, squad cars, collective responses, non-accountability, arrogance, ever-present intimidation, we vs. them … “we are the good guys” and any opposition are the “bad guys,.” factual or imagined.

Why does someone become a cop? Observe the dynamic nature of the function, along with the universal behavior of the overall institution and it comes down to two possibilities: it runs in the family or the applicant’s dick isn’t big enough.
