If you don't feel that the training and culture of LEO has some real problems then I'm not sure we have enough common ground to discuss a solution, to be honest.
I do agree that ratings can be gamed and are not a silver bullet though, that is true. It's difficult to get right.
- TeMPOraL 11y agoBased on what I read, heard and saw I do totally feel that "the training and culture of LEO has some real problems". Especially in the US, but Europe also starts to go this way. I don't deny the need for addressing it. My original point was about something else - that we should be sure we don't overblow the problem. The current situation is that citizens and police are stuck in a feedback loop of growing fear and resent towards each other. A key step to solving our problem is to contain this loop before it grows too strong. 'rrmm wrote about giving more visibility to the transgressions of policemen, but I argue that going for maximum publicity isn't always a best approach. Taking into the account how blindly people consume the media, I fear it may only exacerbate the vicious circle of fear and resent.
