Jason Waltz’s Reviews > Rise of the Warrior Cop: The Militarization of America's Police Forces > Status Update

All very true statements regarding the lack of tracking police violence on citizens. Granted 12 years later we're overburdened with tracking but the point still remains: what are the numbers of violent incidents perpetuated by po-po on civilians who proved not to be criminals? Such numbers would be tracked if, once again, we changed the semantic from 'criminal' justice system to VICTIM Justice System.

Fascinating, disgusting, sorrowful. Led me to a wonderful paper, "ARE COPS CONSTITUTIONAL?" by Roger Roots.

Dang. Nixon and his handlers really f'd 'Merica up.

Jerry Wilson sounds like he was a terrific chief both for his city and his cops. Wish there were more like him. The political shell game Nixon and cronies pulled off in the 60s-70s was a primer for the one running now. It's too exhausting to be incensed over something so ancient, but I sure can be disgusted, just like now.

Provocative and informative. I've learned things I should or even once did know; I've been irritated a few times, not always for the reasons I expected.
