Yup, well stated @Drew4UTk

ERGO Union Electricians,Carpenters,Pipe Fitters,Steel Workers,etc, must suck and are thugs.Those assholes should learn to work honorably and recieve Golden Parachutes and leave companies/corporations in 2-3 years in worse shape than they found them.Yes sir screw the lot of them

The "suits and ties" often are able to maneuver around the edges of the law and thus skate.  And there are a lot of "legal" if unethical ways they can succeed.

Relatively few of them break the law, I think, because the downside is very down for them, so they are careful.

The suits and ties make donations to the people who make the laws.


There is your answer.

The argument is not that the police need to be trained better with how to deal with the public, who can be morons, dopey and whatnot, but it is the public that need to be trained to deal with police, who are both in theory public servants and the more responsible parties. That latter part confuses me to a degree. It sort of infantilizes police. They need other people to be extra docile or else they'll use their publicly granted access to violence. I suppose I could treat them like most other midlevel government employees, which would be assuming they're low-grade incompetent and lazy, but culture has taught me that LEOs boast a baseline level of competency and responsibility, and perhaps that's where I'm getting it wrong.
