You may judge a LEO only AFTER you have done the job. Before that, you have absolutely no idea what you are babbling about. A crime is a crime when there are facts to support that. Your opinion is like you know what.

I agree with the last sentence from the point of, "encouraged the breakup of Black families". Sometimes a well-intentioned program is beset with UNINTENDED consequences. Government and outside experts have tried to fine-tune those consequences away. I am not sure HOW successful they really were?

Stop committing crimes. Quit resisting arrest. Stop posing a threat to officers. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Quit believing the media when they tell you it's all the problem of police policies. Raise kids to be good citizens instead of gang bangers. Actions have consequences.

Or the problem of keeping guns out of the hands of criminals? That lies in the lap of the criminal justice system. Impose meaningful punishments for offenders. Most of these criminals in possession of a firearm are repeat offenders..

What about increasing the Police budgets? - more training - more weeding out of bad apples - Europe can do it - In Europe, a Policeperson is mentored for 3 years with constant evaluations and remains in a team (never alone). Then, they decide whether to make them permanent or not. Constant psychological evaluations. Much more rigorous than in the US., especially small cities.

There is no solution. People become criminals through their own free will. Nobody forces them to commit criminal acts.

There are ALWAYS solutions. read what I said about Europe, please.
