I was around burn pits and sat in the back of LAVs sucking on engine fumes for hours and hours a day. I haven't noticed anything, but I always wonder what's going to come up later...

I was an Infantry Marine, and I feel like this dynamic was similar to my unit.

  1. Do you think the war on drugs has been a major contributing factor to the militarization (hyper-aggressive tactics, not equipment) of police? It seems as if every citizen is now viewed as a potential drug bust rather than a person.

  2. Do you believe justice reform (holding more police accountable and not buddying up with DA's) will improve police behavior? when I was overseas in the Infantry, we were held up to such strict positive ID ROE's and knew we'd be prosecuted if we messed up.

  3. Do you have any thoughts on how to fix PD corruption? As in, using the PD for revenue generation, or political repression and intimidation.

  4. Do you think anything good will come out of this era of strained Police and citizen relations?

Thanks.

1.) It's all I could find on short notice. Now that I've graduated college, I don't have access to academic journals and research. I'd love to have better sources, but I'm not sure if those records are kept.

2.) I think it'd be a better question if I could dig up more videos and stories about policing for revenue generation, but I'm headed to bed soon.

Thanks.
