The problem is that we actually need exactly the people who are staying away from policing, to be police. As with politicians, the policing institution is trying to explicitly drive out integrous, meritocratic, stoic people because disingenuous, cronyistic, emotionally incontent people are easier to control from a tyrants perspective.
This is why part of me actually thinks we would be better lead by randomly shifting autocrats on a yearly basis. I know for a fact that most random fucking people could probably do a better job than our current elite.
In the UK, to get above the rank of captain, you are required to have reported a college for a DEI violation.
Required. As in, it's in the promotion requirements. The next rank requires three. Yes, they are intentionally running people out of the police on purpose.
This is also another reason for what the "Civilian Oversight Boards" are for.
You seem like the sort of person who has the moral compass I'd want in a law enforcement officer, but I guess that's also a large part of why you didn't end up in that profession.
Yea. Its sad, and that’s exactly what I figured. When I got out of the air force I gave serious thought to being a cop, but decided not to.

The man who least wants to be king is the best man for the job.

That’s true. I do regret not joining the police after I got out of the military. But you are right. They do seem to run out those we would want

Thank you. Likewise.
