"What's becoming more & more obvious and has been for quite some time is the mantra of personal responsibility. There is virtually no such thing now.
It's always somebody else's fault."

I never said it was a new line of thinking just that I believe it's becoming more prevalent. You are welcome to disagree.

I'm willing to agree if you are talking about long-term tendency in US culture, but without examples it is hard to know what you mean.

Trump comes to mind as the poster boy for "no personal responsibility," but the trend certainly predates him, if we are talking about the same thing.

However, I do share Fred's puzzlement as to how it applies to the Brooks case.  It could mean officers and police are not taking responsibility for bad decisions, or that those demanding justice for Brooks are mitigating Brooks responsibility, assuming his "failure to comply" makes him solely responsible for his death.

If the latter than I don't agree as that pretty much destroys police accountability.
