The point of the DOJ report of course is that the attitudes and tactics of the BPD were racially biased as shown by the statistical analysis. They adopted policies that made the relationship between the cops and people much worse than it had to be. Hopefully they will over time turn this around.

Thank you for pointing out your desperation...once again.

Post number 10 is made up of various sources which I gathered and have saved in a file.  So that's all mine.

As for the second post, both of the threads I highlighted in red are MY original threads proving I never took a position supporting the police involved in the death of Freddie Smith.

I simply proved all of the Progressives were lying when they refused to do any research and claimed I supported the police.

Give up guys, just try doing your research, then put up your post and forget the desperate attacks on me instead of paying attention.  You're just not up to my ability.

Not all but many of the current problems BPD is experiencing, according to the report, go back to their adoption of the zero tolerance approach to policing. The idea was to cut down on major crime by enforcing the small stuff. The problem is that this approach ended up inflicting great harm on the relationship between police and the black communities since blacks were stopped, searched, arrested, detained much more frequently than other ethnic groups.

The problem is systemic and will require better training, better record keeping, better community policing. Anyone who reads the report cannot help but come to the conclusion that the zero tolerance methods do harm, not good and that blacks were unfairly targeted. The Freddy Gray case is just the tip of the iceberg that we are now beginning to see and that the black community has been aware of for many years. Now it cannot be ignored. No one can claim that the Gray case was anything but a reflection of the general attitude and practices of the BPD.

The practices of the past few years show a basic laziness on the part of police supervisors. Training was nearly nonexistent or actually inaccurate as far as procedures that were legal to implement. Misconduct or complaints were not recorded so statistics could not be used to identify problem officers or units that were out of control. In some cases people were strip searched in public by the side of the road, totally against any recommended procedure yet complaints went unanswered in any meaningful way. Large numbers of arrests were thrown out upon review etc. etc. Quite a blistering indictment.

Of course let us note that all the social conditions that lead to crime should not be the problem of the police. Unfortunately, the police, like teachers, end up dealing with the results of institutionalized racism. We fool ourselves by thinking we are in some kind of post-racial society just because we were smart enough to elect our first black president.

Progressives and their failed policies will NEVER, EVER accept responsibility for their failures.

Run by Democrats for decades, Milwaukee is in the same condition as Detroit and Baltimore.

What do the Progressives want?  MORE MONEY!

Like I said, when you really figure Markle out, he is harmless.

Harmless yet irritating!! Good analysis.

Difficult as it is for some on the right to grasp, yes often the answer IS more money. A favorite ploy of the right is to not fund programs they don't like and then point to them as failures when they were never meant to function in the first place. They say: See, government doesn't work. As they say, Republicans say government doesn't work and then they get elected and prove that it's true.

Knowing you're a far right wingnut, I know that fear is very much a part of your diet.  However, would you point out where above anyone has recommended banning Markle?  If you can't just admit you're a frightened fool.
