I agree, and I'm not discounting tribalism. In-group vs out-group is evolution level deep in our psyche. I'd prefer not to repeat it, and so it's why I don't wear a mask. I make sure I'm nice to people who are because it's both right and useful.
The reason I made references to shitty calls was a part of what I see in the divide between general public and LEOs. It's different than the divide between military and civilians, but it's hardly like the two groups (military and police) overlap. In fact, I'd say that those distinctions persist when you overlay the two.
Part of it is the public's behavior towards police. It's some weird amalgamation of hero worship and treating policing like "the help." Part of it is because LEOs self-isolate in the way veterans do. I've had people I've known for years instantly treat me differently, and it's strange to me because I haven't changed beyond some perspective and my certification.
It all goes a lot deeper when you dig into specifics, so, besides genuine and useful reforms I've discussed, I've seen no better way forward than to treat everyone as individuals and engage them as such.
Same as "PTSD" did after the Vietnam War.
I know I'm redundant about George Carlin but this bit shows how he realized this language bullshiting game a long time ago.

The claim that Australia is exceptionally militant, which seems to be true, is not exclusive of them being Politically Correct.
For example, the US Japanese internment camps (ww2) were highly discriminatory on the basis of race.
Jovan asked if the Australian COVID isolation camps could be considered (or the result of) political correctness. I said yes.
How could that be? Their response to COVID, should have been highly discriminatory isolating for factors of age and preexisting conditions (which are racially and poverty skewed). Instead they took heroic measures to not be discriminatory and locked the whole place down EQUALLY. They went further and built camps for the non compliant - just to demonstrate their dedication to “fairness”. Blond hair blue eyes are happily sent to COVID jail.
This is my theory and it is probably wrong. I’m just waiting for a stronger idea.
