One thing to understand about police "reform" is that, if you have to teach someone that it's wrong to brutally beat an innocent person to death, you _can't_ actually teach them that it's wrong to brutally beat an innocent person to death.

@anildash I would amend that to say that it's wrong to beat any person to death regardless of presumed guilt or innocence.

@funcrunch @anildash At least neurotypical people seem to have "social environment"-dependent morals.So part of the problem is likely that police officers are surrounded by other police officers instead of decent people.

@wakame The fundamental problem is that if someone doesn't have a conscience or a moral compass that's not a problem that any form of teaching can fix.
