POLICE: What goes around…

I had to laugh while reading the article on “What would defunding police look like in Kootenai County.” Thirty or so years ago I worked uniform patrol in another area. We would occasionally wryly comment to each other that we were “social workers in uniforms.” That was during the previous case of the “blue meanie” hiccup, which was an outgrowth of the “anti-government/war” pandemic of the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The same people who protested against the government then had kids and their kids had kids, so we are seeing the results in the current “unrest.”
