Community policing. Beat cop. 1 a day is even possible. You should be alarmed if such cases stop being outliers and start approaching the mean i.e. papers pleas

- DanBC 10y agoWe don't know how far down the long tail that one person is. How many people are having unwelcome weekly interaction with police?
- eternalban 10y agoThat was my point, exactly. [edit: to be clear, that a beat cop may have to deal with a handful of local louts, for exmple. But not the entire neighborhood.] Doesn't our Justice Department have people monitoring this sort of metric?
- pc86 10y agoI would wager that most people who don't work in the criminal justice system and yet have weekly interactions with the police probably describe it as "unwelcome."
