Oh, where's the fun in that?
Look, just last night I was on the phone with my cop brother in Cali. He's telling me about calls that come over like "reports of a black man with a knife" and every potential responder is like, "How can I avoid that dumpster fire?" Meanwhile the call over the radio of "reports of latino male with a knife" and they're like, "OK, that I can deal with."
The police force does have a self-protective system. To really reform it from the potential for external abuses, you also cannot forget the mechanisms of internal abuses. Good cops are often the ones who aren't willing to go along when they see something wrong, and they need support.
Now whether that has anything to do with a meme clown and the validity of the content within it isn't really my concern.
