these "factsets" are all inaccurate, and yet the tribes yell and polarize, instead of spending 1% of that time and energy on checking their datasets

As former military police I should care about slander against my former profession but for some strange reason don't. Maybe become a tiny percentage of cops really are violent brutes and as someone who just wanted to do my 9 to 5 without incident I hated working with them.

Imagine having a job that destroys your body. Every year a suspect fights you. This year you will get stabbed in the kidneys. Next year your jaw will be broken, etc. You have to endure 20 years of this to retire. Now would you give a shit about police brutality?

- there's a lot of angles i could come at the issue bc it's systemic at this point, everything feeds back into everything. but a rough answer is US cops aren't paid near enough to care about it - in general i'd be less displeased w/ the average PD if they followed mil rules tho

AF screens out criminals, so Air Force has very little crime. (Unlike the Army which has like a rape every week AF has almost none). On top of that AF cops are accountable to base commanders while Army MPs r not TLDR: whose rules? Varries by service

maybe... anyone but army's then haha. for marines we can limit it to the ones allowed overseas, slightly higher standard there maybe that's a good standard to emulate -- have cops meet the same criteria used for overseas screenings

might cause a supply shortage, but ignoring that as a possible bottleneck it's a good goal: those screenings, as you doubtless know, are basically just sanity checking 2 things. probability to cause an international incident, and financial susceptibility to bribery and corruption

At root, or near it, this happens because it is incentivized to happen. The largest change needed is in the pay. Everything else technically then falls into place via market forces. Ballpark, 1/4 the # of cops & maybe 3x the pay would be about righthttps://twitter.com/AMK2934/status/1046474271965540352 …

C bad cops, and are not smart enough to tolerate drafted police. You can get any amount of good cops you want with either (1), enough money, or (2) enough force, but you can't get force or money with democracy
