I think his background (17 years on LAPD and Prof. of Homeland Security) is representative that officers with authoritarian views are more likely to succeed. The LAPD was notorious for abuse and racial profiling during his tenure, yet he offers no expertise on the racial issues that compound the civilian behavior he laments.

Were we to take his message with a grain of salt, police officers never abuse their power without being antagonized first. So don't antagonize them.
