I've been thinking about this for a while, what if we had a web of fraud explorer where you can follow the citations of fraudulent papers. And this just might align incentives more in a direction of caution.


Just like windows phone vs iphone?


It always struck me as insane that Microsoft tried to target Windows Phone at general consumers and not Enterprise users.


At some point, knowledge comes from experience, ^ he is my source.


It appears adrian_b is a pseudonym, not even linked to a real identity, how can that be a source?


"... In The US"


No data needed, the proof is in the pudding.


That's just politics and ensuring loyalty to the top of an organization one does not have control of


You could have joined and raised the bar, but shied away from it. The more negative the perception is, the more you guarantee only the worst will join


I would suggest doing some research on what happens when you try to raise the bar from the inside. There are countless examples of retaliation, to the point of murder, against people who question the status quo. Often times people who do as you suggest end up quitting in disgust anyway.

You can't reform a bad institution from within as a low-level worker. Workplace culture comes from the top.


No you cannot. There are a bunch of politics, and silent rules. I don't think you understand how toxic the environment is and how childishly these cops can act.

I suggest reading r/protectandserve for a while. Bonus points if you follow threads after some massive video gets released. You will see a lot of bans of non-verified users and a lot of siding with the cop.

Here is a locked thread from Derek Chauvin sentencing, according to users trial was a sham. https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtectAndServe/comments/o7vpe7/der...


You can't. They filter out the people who are a threat to them. They even use the union to do this.


That will only make it worse, what decent person would go into a job that blacklists you from other jobs?


Not sure why that matters. If you're a town and you don't want terrible law enforcement then you could fire all of the cops, hire new ones that are actually just social workers, lawyers, etc. and go from there. Other towns would be hiring people that you never would but that doesn't affect your local area.
