Bad Cops, Privileged Lives, Crime And Violence

        Cops that work high crime areas encounter violent offenders. Each encounter carries the risk of a violent outcome. Crime, violence and poverty are not the result of bad policing, regardless of how some people want to stick to narratives that suit their political agendas. Or that like narratives that free them from personal responsibility.
        This is not to say there are not bad cops. Bad cops, just like bad people in other occupations, do exist and must be weeded out. No profession, police or otherwise, should tolerate misconduct, abuse or corruption.
         But bad cops are not the cause of dysfunctional families and dysfunctional communities. Bad cops did not create bad parenting. Bad cops did not create the massive, violent underbelly of American society. Bad cops did not create the enormous gang and drug problem.
         People that live privileged lives too often believe in simplistic reasons for complex problems. This frees them from any inconvenience on their part.
