the article is nonsense. none of those things are needed for cops to stop acting like thugs. there no give and take in this debate. cops have become over-militarized, overly aggressive, and committed to escalation instead of resolution.

Your response is a lot of nonsense. The everyday officer is not "militarized" as you say. He has better weapons now but the work is the same. The "thugs" as you call them are a very small loud minority that is constantly being weeded out, but new weeds keep popping up. If you honestly look at the numbers, you would see that 99% of police interactions with the public no problems at all. The vast majority of arrest are also non events. Very few arrest make the news as well as very few use of forces. The criminals are he ones that start the confrontations 90% of the time. The other 10% are started by bad officers that like to start fights. Those idiots make all of us look bad.
