It’s a long, harrowing, and inspirational read, and well worth it. I can confirm the training aspect to be 100% accurate, both in the bullying and the brainwashing. My son has told me as much.
I’m glad the author touched on this:
“Break the power of police unions. Police unions make it nearly impossible to fire bad cops and incentivize protecting them to protect the power of the union. A police union is not a labor union; police officers are powerful state agents, not exploited workers.”
A POLICE UNION IS NOT A LABOR UNION.
