Reason Foundation Vice President of Policy Adrian Moore has thoughts. He shared his insights in the “Toward Better Policing” episode of DonorsTrust’s Giving Ventures.   Moore says cops are too militaristic and that there is a lack of accountability when it comes to weeding out bad cops.   “We’ve developed a policing culture in America that is very warrior-oriented and it’s militaristic in a sense,” says Moore. “Which is applicable in a very narrow range of police-officer situations, but not a very healthy way to approach the vast majority of their interactions with the public.”   The solution? De-militarizing police attitudes and continuing to roll out programs like the push for more body cameras—the use of which, Moore says, compels police officers to act more like public servants and less like they are behind enemy lines.
