I think this helps to explain why police chiefs make moving displays of support for protesters, then rank-and-file cops tear gas and beat them. It is my non-expert opinion that cops — and cop culture — are a large part of the problem, because they reject modern notions of policing, as they pretty much always have. Until rank-and-file cops are held accountable, I don’t think it matters much what the chiefs say or do. And speaking as a supporter of unions, it’s my non-expert opinion that police unions are among the most regressive voices on these issues. This seems like an intractable problem, and I don’t see how it gets solved, because all of us must obviously agree that cops are awesome.Police unions are the real political power when considering police dept culture.

Fascinating. Never heard this theory before. When I first arrived in West Lafayette back in 1981 I thought I had mistakenly been dropped off in Kentucky. (First trip to Bloomington was the same.) To me, everyone had a southern accent. Everyone told me I had a northern accent even though I was from a city at the same latitude as South Bend. Heck, my friends from Pendleton and Anderson sounded like they were from MississippiIndiana is more southern and less midwestern than our neighbors in Illinois and Ohio, because we were initially settled south to north, rather than east to west. There’s an IU history prof who teaches this, and I happen to know there’s an old map in the governor’s office that shows this. We’re a peculiar state, and not in a good way.
The fine and reprimand for not wearing it or turning it off is very little compared to what they go through in a shooting incident or similar. It can be as little as a being told "bad boy" multiple times and more severe like suspension, loss of assignment etc.When the 16 largest cities have instituted this policy there must be some good reasons to support the acceptance of the additional expense of body cameras.
If you read the article I linked you will see that Mike Pence’s fingerprints are all over this policy.
I would hope that cameras could assist in rewarding police officers who demonstrate professionalism in trying times. Also it might be helpful for others to know that big brother is watching

That’s an interesting thought. A sort of Malpractice insurance.I like the idea of making police officers hold professional insurance. For someone who does their job well it would be a nominal charge. Someone who has 16 incidents demonstrating their unfitness to serve may become uninsurable and therefore unemployable rather than just bouncing to the next town over.
This is true up to a point. If you’re talking about Lake and Porter Counties, they were settled from east to west, as in Eastern Europe to the manufacturing along and around Lake Michigan.Indiana is more southern and less midwestern than our neighbors in Illinois and Ohio, because we were initially settled south to north, rather than east to west.

As I was growing up, I was told southern Indiana starts at Route 30.
I think a start would be to have law enforcement officers dress like police again. This paramilitary trend hasn’t worked out well. We need more Andys from Mayberry and less special ops in Afghanistan.
Actually weren’t Lake and Porter Counties settled from the north? French trappers and fur traders from Quebec travelled the Great Lakes coming down Lake Michigan and began settling the area, if I recall my elementary school local history correctly.
When I was at IU during the 60’s we from The Region said as soon as we crossed the Kankakee River we were in Northern Kentucky.

The streets are far too dangerous not to wear body armor. Cameras should be in place as they protect both the citizen and the cop.
Me and my ancestors were Quackers, started on the east coast and headed pretty much due west around 1650. Family historyActually weren’t Lake and Porter Counties settled from the north?

Are the streets made safer for cops by American gun culture?

Indiana is Illinois with a smaller primary city, an awesome college town and better sweet corn.

Illinois has one thing over Indiana, its neighbor to the east is better than Indiana's neighbor to the east.
My original forefather on my Dad's side was from Union County South Carolina. He was Presbyterian and helped build a church south of Washington off of State Road 57. I sent a cover letter to inquire about a church vacancy and I mentioned that it would be interesting to investigate the idea of coming home. lol I did not make it through the process very far so I guess I never tugged on heart strings.Indiana is more southern and less midwestern than our neighbors in Illinois and Ohio, because we were initially settled south to north, rather than east to west.

DumbWatch it. Aloha is dispatching the Ohio Navy right now.
Because of unions.A large part of the problem with police culture is it’s very hard for an officer to be terminated from the job.
