Gwyneth seems to mean well albeit ignorant,

Giving this much benefit of the doubt to people will be the end of us all.

I’m serious. Hanlons razor, that stupid rule of thumb, has probably caused the most harm of any phrase ever uttered.

The most important thing is to first have a governing body that governs the police, without being police.

Without this, nothing here matters because they haze, and brutalize those who do not conform to their awful internal group standards.

You can literally see what happens to good cops. They get forced out.

The problem with your post, is that you can’t help someone who does not want to be helped.

Ideally that type of person would be kicked out of the force, but instead they comprise of the majority of these forces.

Just to be clear, many if not most agencies have mandatory psych evals, visits etc after different types of incidents, but as you can see, they just don’t solve the problem.
