Good. Interesting series on BBC4 about Larry Krasner, newly elected (in 2017) DA in Philadelphia trying to turn round the department. The level of police misconduct is mind blowing. So many with misconduct such as lying, planting evidence, screwing up evidential procedure, personal criminality and classified as 'do not call' ie not to be called to give evidence, yet they are still serving officers. The next group to take on is the police union. Worth a watch. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've plugged this before, but the ebook is free again : https://www.versobooks.com/books/2426-the-end-of-policing Real eye opener, in the same sort of way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I particularly liked the way he fired about 30 assistant DAs on his first day for not being on the same page. They were called in on a 'snow day' to clear their desks! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor that men don’t care about anyone else. My experiences in life have taught me that men and women are equally capable of being dickheads (even in the absence of a dick) and men do care for others. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cluster B personality disorders antisocial personality disorder borderline personality disorder histrionic personality disorder narcissistic personality disorders (including sociopaths and psychopaths) are currently running at 3-1 men versus women. Cluster C - more anxiety led disorders, are 50-50 Although both have resultant difficulties, Cluster B is the one where damage to others is prevalent, dangerous and somewhat dickheaded.
