where did things go wrong?

A failed educational system

A failed educational system

Public education in America has failed, leading to a generation of young cops who, like many in American culture, have never been taught the basics of American government or the U.S. Constitution. This lack of foundational knowledge leaves them adrift, unaware of their proper role in a free society and the limitations imposed on them by the Constitution. 

Moral decay

Weak leaders

Weak leaders
