Rising tide of killings by pol
Officers have shot 11 people to death so far this year, equal to the toll for all of '03 and only three short of '04's.
It started as a routine pedestrian stop in West Philadelphia at which police say they asked for identification from three men shooting dice Thursday evening.

Corrupt people corrupt cops
In all the talk about police corruption, my concern is based on the fact that not all police officers are corrupt. Many of those who fall 'prey' to corruption went into training with that motive on their mind. They already knew that this would be an easy way to 'get rich quickly' so they embraced the opportunity to enter the Constabulary Force where they would be closer to wrongdoings.
On the other hand, would any police be corrupt if there were no corrupt people? Only a few of the police officers who accept bribes ask for it. It is many, or most times, corrupt people who want to break the law who offer the police money. This illegal and disgusting practice has become so common-place that corrupt officers just ask, "right or left" (meaning ..."write or don't write" the ticket). This practice is more common among traffic cops where it is easier to go unnoticed.
So, while we spend a lot of time talking about corruption in the police force, it might be helpful to pay more attention to the criteria for selection, the methods of training, observation for inclination as it would relate to deployment and also the enforcement of the country's laws as far as citizens are concerned.
Corruption has been let loose. If there are no aides, there will be no abetters!
