I was talking specifically about your claim that Baltimore police have allowed crime to flourish by stepping back enforcement. If true, then shame on them.
I don't dispute your stats. At the very least, they prove that there IS such a thing as a "routine stop" -- millions of "routine stops," even.
Most cops are trying to do their job to the best of their ability. Most of them aren't "bad cops." Likewise, most priests weren't pedophiles. But in the Catholic Church, there was a culture of secrecy and silence that enabled a tiny number of abusers to continue their abuse without consequence for years. That's a cultural issue within the institution itself that perpetuates bad behavior by the few. I charge that too many police department operate with a similar culture of secrecy and silence when it comes to misconduct. Read the reports.
Read this story. Read the recent thread about the LAPD.
My call is for accountability and an end to "blue wall of silence."
