Don't think there's any one "why". Tribal behaviors spiraling out of control is the closest I can come up with. But they are out of control and getting worse in many places in the US. We need a culture transplant, and I don't see how that happens. Cops should not be soldiers or gang members, but they act like a combination of both. Actually, more like gang members with a 900-lb-gorrila for a sugar daddy - they get military weapons, but in many cases are incompetent to use them properly, let alone having disciplined teamwork. I keep trying to think of tactics to encourage peeling the good cops away from the bad ones, and can't think of a way that works. And how we have the Feds throwing out consent decrees and basically telling the worst of them "have fun". It is a depressing situation.
