    I think the format of system, as framed around obedience to particular elite interests, and detachment from broader social interests, is completely a valid target of criticism.

    Of course, arguments should be based on factually accurate premises.

      I’m not sure what you mean in this sentence. Are you talking about the system of police applications and how they hire/train cops? Or are you talking about the overall problem where police serve laws which (not coincidentally) protect corporate interests?

      If the former, I’m not sure I’d agree. If the latter, I agree 100%.
