Guardians, Not Warriors

Heard a really interesting interview on my drive up to Canada yesterday about the right and wrong way to form cops so that they approach their work as guardians of the common good and not (as does happen) as militarized warriors against a subject population. Check it out.

It resonated, particularly since I was fresh from witnessing a conversation with an NYPD cop on Facebook who was ranting about “animals” (by which he meant American citizens, made in the image and likeness of God, he was sworn to protect and serve) who deserve death.
