One thing to understand about police "reform" is that, if you have to teach someone that it's wrong to brutally beat an innocent person to death, you _can't_ actually teach them that it's wrong to brutally beat an innocent person to death.

bingo. too often becoming a policeman is the easiest job to get for someone wanting out of food service. Give me a gun and handcuffs and a taser?? Hell yes! There should be a psych eval for anyone who wants to be a policeman. People who are at the end of the spectrum as far as intelligence goes should not be allowed to join. Look to other nations for comparison. We should air higher. Protestors would get along better with police who arrest them for illegal things, as an example, if they aren't beating them with batons and tasering them. argh!

@BillMcGuire @anildash This is off topic, but anyone coming out of food service, especially in the US, probably arleady needs ptsd therapy.

That's the damn truth.

I remember spending Thanksgiving up in east TX with my grandparents on mom's side. Grandma told us that the paper bag by the toilet was for poop paper. Their septic tank was full. As a teen, I was scarred by that. hahaha
