@quinnnorton i've never been able to get the way his eyes lit up when he talked about handing out some beatdowns out of my head.@gacord -
@quinnnorton so yeah, i'm gonna say there's a significant element of sadistic authoritarian sociopaths being attracted to the role.@gacord -
@chaosprime@gacord i still think that can be trained in or trained away a lot of the time. -
@quinnnorton@gacord yeah, i'm certain that's the case. subcultural norms are immensely powerful. most sociopaths conform just fine. -
@quinnnorton@gacord if there's a memetic strain that can save law enforcement, it's professionalism and responsibility. it'd be nice. -
@quinnnorton@gacord good fucking luck reinforcing (or introducing) that complex in the face of rising eliminationist sentiment, though. -
@chaosprime@quinnnorton@gacord A crazy idea: law enforcement have to be held to strictest level of the law. Max penalties, no pleas. -
@catvincent@chaosprime@gacord lack of pleas would make corruption investigations nearly impossible, besides LOL NEVER WILL HAPPEN - 1 more reply
