Do you really deserve to have a decent police force these days? I don't think so. Personally, I don't think a third rate group of people/politicians deserve to have a first rate police force these days.

In Massachusetts, I have seen the bad cops, drug dealers and prostitutes doing each other favors. I tend to believe this exists to some degree around the country.

Near the twin cities, you see where the bad cops are not sat on by the good cops, and the deep seated racism has resulted in a loss of faith in the official mechanisms that assure justice.

I can see both of these cultural problems being true to some extent in California. They have problems with both drugs and hate.

But under what conditions does someone deserve a bad police force?

If you are a racist, if you are part of the problem of the official police structure not giving justice equally to all, you are part of the problem. Perhaps you don’t deserve to have a solution if you are part of the problem.

If you are a bad cop who does favors to pushers and prostitutes, you had best leave the solid citizens alone. You can’t enforce a prohibition. The drug and prostitution gangs will find a place in the culture as long as their products are sought. But you have to expect to get burned if you turn your bad cop behavior onto solid citizens.

While Eric and I have sometimes bumped heads, I do not see him at all as a pusher, prostitute, bad cop or racist. What is your criteria for not deserving a working police force? Do you have to buy into Fox News?
