“Parents need therapy.”

“Cops need more training.”

That’s often said as the solution to child abuse or police brutality.

Sure, that could be part of it. But you’re missing the elephant in the room. Parents and cops face no accountability. They’re legally allowed to commit massive amounts of violence and abuse. And even when it’s illegal, they’re usually still able to get away with it.

No amount of therapy or training will stop someone from being abusive if they face zero consequences for being abusive.
