- etempleton 4y agoI do not think the lack of trust in police is unfair. Police brutality is an issue in the US that disproportionately impacts minorities. However, I also do not think the response to police brutality has been at all constructive. What have we achieved in terms of lasting police reform? My point is simply that police has been a respected pillar of society. Police falling out of favor has very real consequences. When people do not trust police they turn to others for protection and justice.
