Maybe it's time that we view our criminal justice system the same way we view the Supreme Court?

I don’t know why we didn’t do this sooner. Take the FBI for instance. We just assumed it was okay that the agents usually leaned Republican as if Republicans were better at law and order. Instead their policies have resulted in an unfair system that puts excessive over-vigilance on groups that Republicans tend to politically disenfranchise, while providing escape hatches to Republicans who systematically cross the line. I am just saying, because this country is so divided we need to ensure that the people at the highest levels of our criminal justice system should be in line with the demographics and political affiliation of the people in this country.

1. Just..... No

Besides being illegal to ask, I never discuss politics at work.

Plus about 100 other reasons that we don't do political litmus tests for non-politicians.

2. So, I take it that you work in the criminal justice department?

If so, are you suggesting that you never saw policies that were implemented in the department imposing more emphasis on one demographic over the other?

3. Agree. Any serious reform

of our criminal justice system would have to look into the ideological bent of law enforcement agencies, which are notoriously conservative, and thus hostile to PoC, poor, women etc.

People are supposed to be impartial, and many try to be, but political worldview and one's concept of justice are deeply intertwined.
