We have reached the point where all our institutions have taken on characteristic traits of the female outlook and in the female outlook if someone is struggling he is a loser and so must be laughed at and kept at arms length.https://twitter.com/ScottMGreer/status/1456644599653437445 …

Interesting, because policing decades ago was formally more conservative, but tended to quietly be more permissive. There was no cop worship in our culture prior to the 1960s.

Cops still had executive authority back then - they could hand out a beating as the beginning and end of the "process". They got respect because they played a role that all men were expected to play to some extent - now they do something alien - act as purely a cog of the system

>Cops still had executive authority back then I actually think it was much more limited then, in the sense that you had to pass a threshold of criminality for the cops to unload on you. Look at the culture, films, and accounts from radicals in the 60s.

Radicals were a different story - they were protected at the highest levels (same as now). That was a time of transition but the old system was still mostly in place for typical lowlife criminals. Crime exploded as the older generation was replaced.
