if everybody says that, you're right - it ain't gonna get fixed.
Two things within the past few decades have taken control of the relationship of police and the communities they serve. One is the vastly increased power of police unions, the other is the War On Drugs.
While the unions have made it virtually impossible for management to effectively shape and supervise the conduct and performance of police officers, the federal government's cash subsidies, which are solidly based on the volume of anti-drug activity (arrests), have transformed policing into a civic activity that serves interests other than those of the taxpaying public.
