I think that some of the European police agencies Gladwell touts are only armed when they're doing specialized response. Or at least, were historically, and it informs culture. When I lived in Ireland, the typical Garda was more "trusted neighbor" than "slave-catcher". 😒
Show PostI live in a high-income, leafy Seattle neighborhood. From my house, I heard the gunshots the day they murdered Charleena Lyles - a woman who had summoned the police herself because she was having a mental health crisis. She was in a "good" neighborhood, but she was low-income and a person of color.🫤
Show PostMy criticism of Gladwell was that (much as you're pointing out), he is conflating oranges (people hired to be public-safety professionals) with bad apples (people hired to be armed enforcers/thugs). Even our rich neighborhoods suffer from the apples, tho. It's the overall US police culture. 🫤
