And slowly it dawns that every "reform" isn't about what they are saying but about exerting social and institutional control. No matter what the problem the solution always is more taxpayer money, more "training" (run by their grifter buddies), more "oversight" (controlled by their political cronies).
I actually think they thought that cops were just gunning down innocent Black men in the street. And conservatives signed on because it seemed like a good idea for the people who enforce the law through force to be monitored doing so.
"More training" and "more oversight" is just one of those things that sounds good to the managerial class who don't want to admit that sometimes there are fuckups and no-win situations where it's simply a roll of the dice as to whether or not things work out. But you are correct that it's a policy that benefits the managerial class.
