Another shooting, another GOP rant without solutions
Forgive me for yawning; I can’t help it. This is getting tiresome. As you know, a 62-year-old drifter wounded 10 people on a New York City subway last week. Police quickly arrested him, and we know he has a dozen prior misdemeanor arrests. He’s almost certainly mentally ill, but was able[...]
Chief hired to reform America’s worst police department fired; did the police union get her?
Aurora, Colorado, arguably has America’s worst police department. Its cops are infamous. Their own chief calls them “despicable.” So begins a posting I wrote last year (read it here). Then, Aurora PD was back in the news because of yet another police brutality incident. Now, because the ci[...]

Kim Potter case raises interesting questions about police accountability
Kim Potter killed a man. She meant to tase him, but shot him instead. For that mistake, she lost more than her job; she’s going to prison, even though the jury concluded she was “a good person” and “a good cop” who made “an innocent mistake.” A juror who spo[...]

Racist ex-police chief assures us he’s not a racist
He was caught on surveillance video (below) “leaving a ‘Ku Klux Klan’ note on a Black officer’s raincoat,” NBC News says (here). That’s not all. He also “fashioned a KKK style hat out of paper” and told the officer “he had to wear it on his next [...]
