What did you expect them to do? Actually address the issues and fix the problems that lead to crime? Where is the money in that?
"If you do not find a remedy to these evils it is a vain thing to boast of your severity in punishing theft, which, though it may have the appearance of justice, yet in itself is neither just nor convenient; for if you suffer your people to be ill-educated, and their manners to be corrupted from their infancy, and then punish them for those crimes to which their first education disposed them, what else is to be concluded from this but that you first make thieves and then punish them?" Thomas More
In my opinion:
All authoritarianism is based on a need for conformity. When behavior is instilled into a person from childhood based on the terror of being caught deviating from whatever nonsense standard of morality ones guardians insist on, the result is rage at the injustice of being forced into a box or repressed rage when rage is met with more and more violence.
All of this gets repeated in life thereafter, where those subjected to it become either rebels or Stockholm sycophants. The police department is a natural for those with Stockholm syndrome as it gives them a place to practice their art. And all of it will come with a perfectly natural assumption they are doing the right thing. If they can make people conform, they will be safe from abusers like them. The only problem is that we create what we fear, in this case miscreants.

It really is MINORITY report. But its less techy and more like this:
Well to be fair, you gotta let the rotten apple ruin the whole bunch before you decide to do anything, right? Isn't that how the saying goes? At least based on cops' understanding of it it seems to be.
So his "futuristic" method was to just claim that old school racism is futuristic? Remember when the Nazis told us how their racism was going to usher in a new 1000 year Reich?
