Where is the line between the environment and the individual? Even if the Baltimore environment drove the police to criminal behavior, it is unacceptable to let them get away with it.
Obviously there is an issue with the environment but that doesn’t really affect the current situation: namely bad behavior in the police department.
Corrupt and criminal cops need to be prosecuted. The system needs to change going forward (equipment, policies, training, community outreach, etc).
- dhimes 9y agoI'm not to let anybody get away with it. I'm just saying that without a change of environment the next group of police are likely to end up doing the same things after some time.
- neuland 9y agoMy mistake for misreading your comment. That's definitely true. Punishing the egregious cases is a step in the right direction. But, there are a million other things that need to be fixed, including many things outside the police department's control.
