      Paul Graham Retweeted Steve Fletcher - Minneapolis Ward 3

      Read this whole thread, then multiply his points by several hundred other US cities in the same position.https://twitter.com/MplsWard3/status/1267891869691850754 …

      Steve Fletcher - Minneapolis Ward 3 @MplsWard3
      Bob Kroll’s letter yesterday to the Minneapolis Police Federation membership showed us what rank-and-file officers voted for in their leadership, and it is yet another sign that the department is irredeemably beyond reform.

      Bill Selly Retweeted Robert Faturechi

      Do you really believe that hundreds of US cities have the problems of the Minneapolis Police Dept? I really don’t know, but if true, I would cry long for my country. But I find it hard to believe many places are as bad as the MPD:https://twitter.com/robertfaturechi/status/1266970634170494976?s=21 …

      I was texting with an old L.A. cop source. White, high-ranking, old school. His take on the Minneapolis Police Department shocked me... pic.twitter.com/EUdtUpQKJb

          I don’t know, Paul. Using contract terms that protect police officers as a metric of a corrupt or abusive police dept. seems a stretch to me. Of course all police unions will try to have some degree of protection for officers.

          It's cause and effect. A system with less corrective feedback in one dimension will tend to deviate more in that dimension. Absence of accountability leads to deviance. Of course accountability mechanisms need to be fair. But they need to be fair in both directions.
