I don’t know how all this crap happened in the world. I’m currently watching old stuff on my computer. I mean really old, Original dragnet episodes, Dragnet 67 episodes and Adam 12. Cops were trained differently. You have to train them like they used to be. I know those were idealized, but the whole point was that was how they were trained-to high ideals, standards way above what you have now. It seems like most of the problems started when they began to use more military ideals on a civilian population, which are as a rule undisciplined by nature. The answer is possibly more discipline among us. We may have to form our own groups or influence our law enforcement to become our protectors. There are more of them than the military and they are armed and have the authority ,or is this off base?
