American cops have literally invented entire conspiracies about their persecution leading to them all being in constant danger, which in turn makes them even more unhinged and violent, and this person thinks that they will ever back down if someone with a marginally higher rank than them tells them to? Legit the only way to reform american policing is :dorner: it down and start over.

Fuck's sake, isn't this discussion at least partly born out of that article about the sheriffs who have just decided that they have the authority to disregard any instruction they perceive as unconstitutional? Which would technically place them as the final arbiter of all things legal, which sidesteps the entire democratic proces and those precious institutions that the libs seem to care about.
