It'd be kinda nice if we trusted the police to act as "moral authorities" instead of trampling the public's rights and privacy (and necks) with wilful abandon whenever they feel like it...



We can only get to that point via systemic processes to ensure the proper people end up in the positions of power, with proper accountability acting in the limits of a shared morality

Hoping that police/tech companies/miltiary/etc are moral isn't an actionable plan.


I find that I don't shoot random innocent people mostly because I'm not a homicidal maniac but also because I will probably lose my house and everything I've worked for my whole life possibly including my freedom.

People in the armed forces need to be put in the same boat I'm in.
