    There’s a lot of fruity language here that boils down to “the police should be able to kill anyone they want with impunity.”

    “progress is undermined by a system not set up to help officers succeed.”

    What the fuck does he mean by succeed? Successful in what? Successful in meeting quotas of arrests? Successful in ignoring sexual assault cases?

    It’s the fucking police… You shouldn’t be run as a fucking enterprise…
