Believe me, I see it from both sides. We need police who are empowered to do their own jobs. However... > All hell breaks loose when you ask, demand or otherwise force people to take responsibility for themselves and/or own their mistakes. The irony of this statement is that the entire collapse of trust with police in America was refusal for departments or unions to hold individual bad actors responsible. The reactionary response of police unions and the whole "thin blue line/sheepdog" attitude made it clear that also police don't want to take responsibility for mistakes.
