This is why I
when you hear Police Officials say thing like "Our officers are professionals, and are unbiased, politics don't supersede professionals, yadda yadda".
We all know that's bullshit. When you have forces throughout the country with a massive Republican slant towards a party that are otherwise a white nationalist movement at this point, human bias will
ALWAYS occur. To continue to ignore that obvious fact, and allow business as usual is ignoring basic human mentality.
This is why officers should be paid better, require higher educational standards, and slim down the funding for "equipment" and "toys". Hire less, but hire better. At this point you don't need so many physical officers in that damn police state, hire less officers, make the requirements more stringent, and offer better pay, make it a marque job.
College graduates lean heavily Democratic, and not Republican.
There is a reason we don't see as much abuse by departments like the VPD (I'm not ignoring that there are problems), but that post-secondary requirement to enter the force is a massive element to employing better officers in my opinion. I've regularly had better interactions with VPD officers than that of RCMP officers which carry MUCH lower hiring standards, and yes I know my observations are anecdotal.
