The best you can hope for is a clean-cut Chad who just wants to express his phenotype and wear the uniform. Otherwise I have to imagine they're all Scum.

nah i've met more than a few

mostly from the older generations though. the real issues with police culture in the states began once they pivoted to hiring enlistees home from the middle east with untreated psychiatric disorders and a messiah complex from the slavish treatment neoconservative politicians and followers dumped on them. it used to be more professional and of and amongst the civilian population before that; tattoos were rare and you could rely on a certain "civil servant" mentality outside of the sticks. now? ljl military killorder training + war/home trauma + "under siege; back the blue, us vs them" mentalities=a melting pot of disdain for the public and unaccountable uses of force

I agree with this. The tatted up cops really took me by surprise. The first time I saw an otherwise dorky uptight looking cop walk in with a full crayon looking mess on his arms it was very disturbing. I want to say this was around 2010??? I hadn't really thought about the influence of the war etc. I do recall chatting with a guy that ran recruiting and I told him I figured finding cops with guys coming out of dod must be easier. He said nope, they have too much baggage. Didn't like them as candidates.

I never work with real patrol type cops. The higher ups are usually pretty chill...or some form of dei. Thinking about this, I saw a huge number of the chill civilian types retire out through COVID. It's not a good trend. And a similar stock of candidates to replace them are not from the same category, it's way more the shit group you mentioned above. Normal guys that probably hired on in the early 90s before dei and BLM are gone and the same types of dudes wouldn't even consider a career in LE now.

It's also the Clique System at play. You can't just be a Normal Bro anymore like it's 1969 and go out there and enforce laws. "Cop" is a blue-collar job for people with "some college" or something. Strict socioeconomic stratification and Clique Theory mandates that cops must be Scumbags. Anyone going through life trying to be a Normal Bro who isn't in a Clique will just get labeled a Loser and not be allowed to join the force. This is true of so many things. Society does not like Losers afaik.

It was either during Bush 2 or Obama 1 that the DoD started running these servicemen reintregration programs and you had, as kickbacks for preferential placement for jobless return-ees, PDs getting equipped with milsurp stuff sitting around to decay in DoD/NG warehouses stateside. It's why so many midsize PDs have APCs as "riot control vehicles" despite never having seen a riot and the local budget being unable to afford them otherwise

I remember Gingrich/Ron Paul types at the time saying that these sorts of linkages would lead to a militarization of local PDs and neocons scoffing it off. Like so many of their other predictions, those turned out to be spot on

A lot of words have been written about the wages of hiring traumatized warfighters into PD positions and it was a good lib cause celebré for a while but with the left's turn against police culture in general you don't hear much about it these days

Reading this I only vaguely remember all of that. I should do some homework. It's a bit before my time. Equipment is the easiest to pass through for funding. Even during Obama and Biden admins. The bad guys shift but the programs stay the same. But you're right, this militarization is not healthy. It can seem like the right path and it's definitely the prevailing mindset but I should do more to steer away. And this is coming from a conservative position.

yeah the old paleoconservative consensus about police was much more ambivalent about their role and status in society than the later neocon notions about them. neocons have no issue with the militarization of police (that movement itself just being a Reagan-wrapped skinsuit for the ultrawealthy to promote a sort of corporatist fascist option for stakeholders to take when domestic unrest or calls for reform get too out of hand) and widely supported it for optics in their typical (and this is charitable; i suspect the real reasons are more sinister) myopia about what's good for the health of american communities down the line

it's a major issue. no locale that isn't strictly urban or plagued by dense violent crime clusters needs APCs and hundreds of tactical long rifles and automatics available in the PD armory; those same paleocons and libertarians correctly surmised that these militarized PDs would become a tool for state repression down the line, and the blowback for traditionally "right wing" causes under fire by these same consequences has been palpable re: covid response, police enforcement of bizarre leftist policies, etc

There are. Just watch several of Donut Operator's videos. My favorite is a one where some nigger tried taking a cop's gun but couldn't get past the level 3 retention holster. The fight moved into the cop's patrol car, where the nigger put it into reverse and took the cop for a ride. Backup arrived, pulled the nigger off the cop, and then put three into the nigger's chest:

There probably used to be plenty of good cops but yeah a diverse country requires strict adherence to overbearing laws lest some group feel discriminated against so even the cops that would have been good a generation or two ago are now mindless robots enforcing bullshit laws so they don’t get kicked to the curb and end up homeless alcoholics.

In the US you kinda want your police to be Scumbags. Like the kind that watch UFC at Buffalo Wild Wings. It’s not like they are chasing John Dillinger out there, they are dealing with URMs and even lowlier Scum.
