I'm for policing. They keep law and order. Unfortunately with great power comes great abuse of power (to paraphrase a favorite comics character).

I have seen it time and again for myself.

It was much worse btw in the past. Nearly the entire NYC police force was dirty back in the 70's (robbing drug dealers, extortion of drug dealers and partners with organized crime).

We are much better now (To my knowledge). If we can improve in that area I know we can improve on the racial interaction of the police and minorities

Left or right, we all seem to agree police brutality by itself is something that is inexcusable
