Torture, racism, fraud, corruption: yes. Total lack of will to reform: no.

  OK, take "Total" out and see if you're still happy with that answer: http://henrycountyreport.com/blog/2015/12/01/leaked-documents-reveal-dothan-police-department-planted-drugs-on-young-black-men-for-years-district-attorney-doug-valeska-complicit/ http://henrycountyreport.com/blog/2015/12/01/leaked-document... It seems to me there's a tremendous lack of will to reform abuses and criminal acts by LEO. Perhaps not "Total", but so marginally less than "Total" as to be functionally equivalent (in that "not all men" kind of failure to acknowledge reality...).

    There's a very strong political will to "reform" torture by the CIA (i.e. stop it), just as there was when the police did it [1]. Racism, fraud, corruption have existed and will continue to exist, and will continue to be fought viciously for many lifetimes to come, both in the US and throughout the world. Police misconduct is real here and all over the world, as well, and will also continue to be fought. There are no quick fixes, and it's important to be outraged and voice one's outrage when we see it, but let's not give up and paint all LO with one brush, as their existence most certainly contributes a net positive to society. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterboarding#By_U.S._police_before_the_1940s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterboarding#By_U.S._police_b...
