Ever since the George Floyd murder there have been calls to defund and/or dismantle police departments in the US. Imagine you are the major of a big US city. Use Virtue ethics to convince city council that the police force can be reformed.
Questions:
1.Consider what kind of person needs to be hired to become a police officer (what are their virtues) and what kind of training is needed (how do their virtues become habits).
2. Does the current reporting of main stream media make it easier or harder to attract the right people to the police force?
