I simply cannot share in your level of pessimism. I believe that if the behavior of the bad actors were visible that it would change. I am not saying that things are not terrible: they may be. But I am saying that things can get better. You write: > "[Police] are never, in any precinct, going to be an acceptable institution." which I think is patently untrue -- there are several precincts where the police as an institution function excellently.
