Participants in the discussion were told that the meeting was closed to the news media, but the mayor of D.C. listed the event as public and a Washington Post reporter entered with her entourage and observed more than three hours of the discussion.

Could the root cause be drugs? Guns? Gangs? Perhaps a little of each, said Chuck Wexler, a former top officer in Boston and head of the Police Executive Research Forum.

Wexler tried to sum up the day-long discussion for Lynch, who arrived near the end. But there was another problem, he told her, one that hits closer to home for the nation’s top cop.

“Perhaps the most difficult to calibrate, but the most significant,” he said, “is this notion of a reduction in proactive policing.”

Police chiefs and elected leaders from Baltimore, Chicago, New York and St. Louis were more blunt:

“We have allowed our police department to get fetal and it is having a direct consequence,” Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel told Lynch. “They have pulled back from the ability to interdict … they don’t want to be a news story themselves, they don’t want their career ended early, and it’s having an impact.”

Perhaps because we have an absurd number of people behind bars to the point where if it wasn't so normalized in our culture we'd realize history books are going to treat it like a massive human rights violation. In terms of pure scale there's not many events that can even compare in terms of number of people affected by our prison industrial complex.

From 1980 to 2008, the number of people incarcerated in America quadrupled-from roughly 500,000 to 2.3 million people
Today, the US is 5% of the World population and has 25% of world prisoners.
Combining the number of people in prison and jail with those under parole or probation supervision, 1 in ever y 31 adults, or 3.2 percent of the population is under some form of correctional control

even more hosed up is what happens to good cops who try to rat out shitbag cops


spoiler alert: a bunch of high ranking pigs showed up at this guys apartment and basically had him forcibly committed to a psychiatric hospital (something that's normally impossible to do with an adult who isnt actually in the middle of a suicide attempt). luckily he had tape recorders rolling in his apartment too.

just lol at an entire room full of people who's job it is to handle crime seeing an increase in crime and not one of them suggesting that poverty and crime go hand in hand and we've been making everyone poorer and poorer. No it's clearly public backlash against police officers abusing authority or drugs, has nothing to do with a bunch of people who weren't given a reasonable shot at life not having anywhere to turn to.

But for hours preceding that, mayors, police chiefs, U.S. attorneys and even FBI Director James Comey privately vented in a Washington ballroom that they don’t really understand the alarming spike in murders and applause filled the room when mayors said police officers’ sinking morale could be a factor.

Sorry to let you know this but taking video is prohibited in many hospitals and schools and part of the reason is to make liability lawsuits more difficult to substantiate.

If I was a cop I would be really tired of half aggressive people who don't like me putting a camera on me every time I'm not in my car. But I'm not a cop so I don't care.

the only people police abuse more than black citizens are cops who decide to actually be good

also find one of the many stories where college kids caught with weed are basically blackmailed into shady deals and prostitution to bust perps, then left to fend for themselves after the cops finished up
