All the way back in 2008 I retired as a Peace Officer / Academy Instructor. To put it mildly, I was one fed-up and resentful employee. But, not for the same reasons the Minneapolis police are in leaving their law enforcement jobs.
I did not approve of law enforcement's transformation from a "protect and serve" model to outright militarization of their departments.
In 2005, I stood in a training center, in absolute shock, where I was once employed, and watched certified defensive tactics instructors teaching cadets an array of choke holds that included the specific neck hold that killed George Floyd.
Make no mistake about it, the Department of Justice, which oversees the COPS (Community Oriented Policing Services) program, has provided an astounding $14 billion in hiring and training local police in new and aggressive stratagems.
This right here is a huge part in the wall of police corruption that is now firmly embedded in law enforcement work all across America.
The fact is, Americans, meaning, "We The People", have been forcefully dragged into the halls of fascism. I'm not sure if this could ever be reversed.
But, electing the Joe Biden and Kamala Harris presidential ticket is a damn good start.
