    My father is a retired cop and a genuinely good guy. Despite that, he still listens to Conservative radio and rants about the rising crime rates and how the US needs to do a better job of enforcing the “rule of law”. No matter how nice a cop may be, they still participate in a system that hammers into them that the only way to reduce crime is more policing. It’s a system that perpetuates itself by spreading fear.
