Depends on the wages. You could have a state-wide pay level.

I’d say the police being hired on a local level is not necessarily better or worse than on state or federal level. It might mean having racist town cops and non-racist state troopers or vice versa.

What is definetly fucked up is the lack of training. I mean even in LA where there’s quite the intense training I personally find it lacking. Cops here study and graduate with at least a bachelors degree.

Also as someone that holds a law degree from a country with codified law and a very strict and proven legal theoretical construct, I find the idea of case law rediculous. It’s outdated - by centuries

Generally agree with making fun of such people espescially in fantasy.

I fucking hated it in the witcher series though. I mean no disrespect to the actress that played Tris Merigold she did well - well, at least better that the one for Yennefer or some of the other sorceresses. But the plot is already diverse, it is based on historic folklore and incorporates racism and xenophobia. It makes just so little fucking sense. Though to be fair, little did make sense, the director really screwed the series and the fans of its source material over big time.

In Bridgerton, yes I weirdly enough enjoyed the first season, I did not give a fuck about the diversity nor felt it forced to me.
