You were mentioning a boundary and line being drawn, I think what's trying to be said is that line is already drawn. No problem abruptly vanishes just because it becomes illegal. It doesn't help that your example is 30 years old,
police and police oversight have gotten far better since then.
- hedora 2y agoDo you have any evidence that police are better behaved or that oversight has improved? There is plenty of evidence to the contrary. For example, police use civil forfeiture to steal more stuff than all criminals combined. That wasn’t true in the 1990s.
- bryanrasmussen 2y agoThe percentage of the population imprisoned or under some sort of parole has increased a lot in the last 30 years, either the police and the system they are part of has worsened, or the population has. I'm betting the police.
- jyounker 2y agoThe statistics back you up. Violent crime in the USA is about what it was in early 70s, far below it's peak in the late 80s/early 90s. [Most of the decline seems to be linked to legalized abortion and elimination of leaded gasoline.]
