    Imagine if you “elected” a doctor who never went to medical school, or a solider who never went to training, or a lawyer who never went to college.

    Doesn’t the US do exactly that with cops, prosecutors and judges? Fuck, what a shithole.

      Not completely?

      For how shit they are, prosecutors must be licensed and BAR certified lawyers.

      Judges however do not need to have a law degree. Which is fucked up and horrific. Though if they don’t know case law they’ll probably suffer badly at the job.

      Cops on the other hand are just handed a gun and told to go police people.
