Hmmm. I feel a University sponsored research project coming on (peer reviewed, of course!).

'General consensus' also put those that call the shots (about how police should function) into power.

Welcome to the real world...

Welcome to the real world...

The real world as it is now, yes. The real world where managers are too scared or weak to say no to their superiors when they know full well the "order" is a dumb idea. Too often a superior's word is law and no discussion will be entered into. FFS the real civilian world is not a military unit.

The only reason we have the world we have now is that too many people became afraid to speak up and say exactly what they think. Now it's harder than ever to go back to a society where opinions are wanted and respected.
