Prof is right that a lot of this is top-down bullshit.
it's the legislatures that are criminalizing everything.
it's the courts that are stripping us of our rights.
it's the people demanding more police protection and getting tougher on crime.
it's the feds who are largely paying for police to militarize their kit.
it's the city counsels who push for quotas and money.
it's the all of the above who lose their shit if a cop errors on the side of not charging someone.
