I wasn’t able to join the military because of it. I tried calling up my local PD and asking the source itself. Not only did they not know the answer (I’m shocked too trust me), they said I had to pass a medical test AFTER I go through all the prerequisites. So I’m asking here before I dedicate myself.

      The common man has no way to solve it.

      The real solution would be disband police unions, create high and rigorous training standards that are enforced, create permanent consequences for being a bad cop (i.e. you can’t just go to the department one town over), and purge the ranks of the old guard that keep the corrupt system moving as it does. It requires a full reset to correct within a generation, which means we’ll never see it. Because that course of action has to come from political leadership, and that obviously won’t happen, so in the current reality all we can try to do is live our lives while avoiding the police as much as possible.

      Not all societal problems have a feasible solution. Doesn’t mean we can’t point out the problems.
