After 9/11, the U.S. Got Almost Everything Wrong

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : It doesn't take much of a leap to conclude that the transformation of our nation's police from local guardians to GWOT warriors created more distance between officers and the communities they patrol, and exacerbated the tensions that led to the Black Lives Matter movement.
50% : But its agents primarily find themselves working what amounts to a humanitarian mission on the southern border as migrants flee violence in Central America.
35% : After the critique that federal law enforcement and spy agencies had "failed to connect the dots" took hold, everyone shared everything -- every tip seemed to be treated as fact.
35% : One DHS section, the newly formed Customs and Border Protection, experienced a surge of growth so poorly executed that the agency became a major corruption threat in the region near the border with Mexico.
