I very much agree with Glenn's take on the funeral, the trio of Sharpton, Crump, Dyson. I didnt see it. I cant take any of them, so luckily I abstained. John's take... cognitive dissonance.
I don't know why Glenn found it "distasteful" to wonder if lower hiring standards were part of the problem here. It's happening and it doesn't inspire confidence. The behavior, for one, clearly was horrendous. Putting that aside, in a cold light, they just weren't too bright to beat someone while their cameras were on, to pepper spray each other! Additionally, for an "elite unit" that is meant to do the tough stuff, some of those cops seemed physically under par. At least one, maybe two, was overweight and terribly winded for a very long time after the chase had ended. He seemed to need a good long break.
