I don't doubt your experience but let's not pretend that there haven't been any changes in the past 2 decades.

I don't doubt your experience but let's not pretend that there haven't been any changes in the past 2 decades.
- m_fayer 4y agoWhat makes you so sure? Even if there's data showing improvement, this would be data from a supremely untrustworthy source with a long history of manipulation and deception.
- MathCodeLove 4y agoI mean you're making an argument that does nothing to facilitate discussion on the issue. It's basically saying "No it hasn't changed. And if you have evidence or data showing otherwise, it can't be trusted." At the point you refute any provided data or evidence the conversation just devolves into an argument instead of a debate or conversation.
- m_fayer 4y agoDiscussion isn't what's needed here. It's reconciliation. This is what it looks like when abuse has built up and trust destroyed. The only way to claw back from that is patient humble hat-in-hands dialogue and persistent incremental trust-building measures. I haven't seen anything that looks like that from any major US law enforcement entity.
