The pile will topple, you&#x27;re right. It&#x27;s just a matter of <i>how.</i> Even people I respect a lot like Radley Balko are not on the right page about fixing the current problems with police. He talks a lot about community policing, literal foot patrols (vs. cars), etc. And that&#x27;d be all great, except our society is way beyond that. Maybe such tactics would have worked in the &#x27;60&#x27;s, before the relationship between citizens and police became one of either hate or ignorance. At this point, without dismantling a huge part of the police and corrections system (because calling it &quot;criminal justice&quot; is just plain absurd) nothing will change. But that can still happen through the democratic process. I hope ...
