I decided not to publish this episode because I thought it was too radical, too harsh - but in light of events, I had to publish this episode. I finished this episode in December 2019.
A few bad apples spoils a bunch, so you remove any bad apples so the bunch wouldnât be spoiled right. However, if upon noticing the spoiled apples you prevent anyone from moving them, then any concerned observer would assume you want the bunch spoiled. Here we find the problem with many Police Union arguments against public accountability. In todayâs episode I tackle this problem while asking you to consider policing as a form of civilian militarism before offering up a prescription of what this society requires to heal itself and bring an end to the carnage President Trump mentioned in his first inauguration speech. We need Social workers, real social workers and teams dedicated to sewing up the social fractures in society, allowing police officers to tackle real crime. To some this will seem like a anti-police officer show, but itâs not, I have sympathy for all those good officers wishing they could pursue their passion for crime solving without the needless hassle of filling quotas and bringing in revenue for over stretched municipalities unable to tax corporations.
