Because its 'The Code.'
You know how annoyed we get watching hockey and everyone gets frothing at the mouth for a guy to 'answer the bell!'
Its basically like that except every day.
I do find it funny that Policing is considered like a 'Brotherhood' and you never betray one of your brothers!
Have they ever had brothers? Sometimes you screw your brother over just for laughs.
Honestly, I remember saying...'What Police forces need is...more women.'
We have this caricature of women in our minds as these feeble beings who become hysterical emotional wrecks under stress. But I dont see that as true. I think properly trained and experienced they tend to be more clinically analytical and empathetic.
The problem is it would be a drop in the bucket of the 'Old Boys Club.'
Thats the thing that has to be destroyed. That is the impetus behind 'Defund the Police.'
Its nothing against the concept of Police, its something against the ingrained, institutionalized and generally (until recently) accepted behaviour of the Police.
When an institution is poisoned at its core sometimes you have to burn it to the ground and rebuild it anew.
