It extends out of the department as well -- look no further than the DA and the stable of state prosecutors for another cesspool of laziness and neglect.

- thorntonbf 11y agoAgreed. And, that's actually pretty scary. When it comes to Ferguson-type departmental corruption, it shows just how institutionalized the racism is - and how far it extends outside of the departments. We should likely spend more time on this, as in this light, it doesn't matter what changes are made at a departmental level - there's no path to success on their own. Change is going to have to be at the elected official level - but those systems are so gerrymandered, and so corrupt that it presents a really difficult problem.
