So many cops are just too ignorant or self absorbed with their power to understand that their actions undermine the very trust they’re trying to earn.
Yeah... no. The problem with today's militarized police culture is that they don't have a sense of needing to earn trust. They expect it, they demand it, they would coerce it if it were possible.
The concept of earning trust is political, and does not fit in the current adversarial policing model.
