Many police organizations have been violating rights and abusing people for decades; saying that they need more money before they fix their problem just astonishes me. Do you really think the populace will trust them to change?
If someone's been violating your trust for an extended period of time, they need to earn it back before you give them anything they want.
- twblalock 6y agoHow do you expect them to "earn it back" without investing more money to pay for better training and investigations of citizen complaints?
- nickff 6y agoWell, I don't know if they can. The analogy that comes to mind is that of an long-term abusive spouse: When you threaten to leave, they say they'll change, they just need a little time and your help. Do you believe them?
