I think it sucks that its happening. I don't think there are any winners in the situation there. I think the protesters and rioters do have a point about being treated poorly by members of the police force, but it certainly isn't a case of all bad cops etc....but there seems to be a good ole' boy system in play and it also seems like in many places people are not demographically represented in the force policing them, and instead of being protected and served...well you understand. And of course there is a criminal element that will take advantage of the social discord and I hope you and your family are safe.


I think this sums up feelings on the issue, minus the part about being demographically represented - I don't give a shit about representation as long as the job is being done properly, which unfortunately looks like it is not the case.

Demographics help achieve better results. We see it a lot in healthcare as well.

Can you back this up with a study?

Not that I have readily available. It's classroom learning at this point because it's well documented.

People are more likely to follow orders if their physician is of the same background.

This honestly concerns me, because if that's true, then the people in these studies are racist.

It just means that people are best served by people who can relate to them.

Its pretty simple.

This is especially true in professions that hold power over people....like doctors, social workers, police officers, other local authorities.

And its classroom learning at this point. And it doesnt mean that people are racist.

Personally I generally lean towards female physicians...because their patients live longer on average.

Meh, it also works across income demographics.

A rich white guy can't really relate to a poor Kentucky farmer.

As an outside observer, I think the cops need to get fucking owned by the citizens. The cops have become a violent organized street gang that doesn't do its fucking job.


Not all cops are bad :mellow:
