A similar shift in justification is evident in a wide range of debates over the regulation or prohibition of activities that have traditionally been associated with moral offense--from prostitution and pornography, to loitering and drug use, to homosexual and heterosexual conduct.

The response to the killing of George Floyd, and the many Black Lives Matter demonstrations, are a reminder of just how fragile the legitimacy enjoyed by some police agencies is. Abuse of power, corruption, and a lack of transparency and accountability are all factors that contribute to its erosion.
