Yup. It starts with the very term "war". We have military hardware and military guns. We have an institution of filled with arrogance and the instillation of fear ("Contempt of cop" is a real thing.) Even in this article, they talk about how the sheriff's swat team has a logo featuring a human skull. Not exactly in the "protect and serve" department, but more much more "I'm gonna fuck someone up" department. Civil forfeiture. Targeting communities for fines. Broken windows policing. A privatized prison system. Policing as a money maker. This is contemporary police culture, and it is dysfunctional. I've said this multiple times, but the older I get, the more I see the wisdom in NWA[0]. [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tke_27wbW-0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tke_27wbW-0
