Stephan:   This article was sent to me by a reader who described himself as, "a typical millennial, paying off my student debt, and trying to keep alive my idea for business start-up. Like everyone I know I don't want to have any interaction with the police who I think are nothing but bullies and thugs." Is this a representative statement of the next generation? I don't know, but it certainly accords with what I hear at the gym from the young guys there, who mostly work with their hands.  The days when police were seen as good guys seems to have passed, and we are a damaged society as a result. Gallup has done studies that show an enormous difference between the views of Whites and Black and Hispanics concerning law enforcement. All the groups have discouragingly high distaste for the police. Not surprisingly the poorer you are, the less you like the police, and if you happen to have darker skin you like them even less. As you can see in the report, racial bias is still a sadly prominent part of American culture.  Is it possible to have a healthy society and this level of mistrust and hatred between the police and those they are supposed to "serve and protect"? I don't think so.
