RE: Do Police Have Our Best Interest at Heart? - The Evolution of Modern Policing
Here's the issue with people bashing on the police today: No one wants to be called racist, sexist, fascist, etc. These are fear tactics put into circulation by anarchists to undermine police forces from taking action.
Arrest a non-white individual, it's racist.
Arrest a woman? Sexist.
These are not my opinions, they are a cruel reality of the world we live in.
Additionally, we cannot simply say "the police need to not be as involved". They should be at least as involved as criminals are, and crime is at an all time high. Once the criminals are locked up and the people of this country stop acting like spoiled preteens, the police can back off. Until then, it's at least my opinion that we should be expediting the process of militarizing our police forces. The world has come to that.
And we also have an issue with people protecting and making excuses for police even when they are clearly at fault. There needs to be a happy medium where police can be scrutinized without people circling the wagons to protect them. They should serve at the will of the people and nothing more.
Militarizing police is the wrong answer. and most specifically, can not be done without circumventing many more rights of the American people. Venezuela has militarized police, looks like it's going stellar over there.
