“Lots of posters here seem to be working hard for this breadown.”
The breakdown of this relationship is happening without our input. Cops are increasingly militarized with a us verses them attitude. Most cops take the job because of their ego and they like being on a power trip.
Conservatives have generally not been terribly receptive to minority claims of police harassment and brutality.
But recently attitudes seem to be shifting. Is it possible the minorities were on the money all along, and the cops are just shifting their us vs. them attitude to fit the rest of us into “them” with the minorities?
