Atlanta continues to amaze me. On one hand, I see reports every week from the police department at my school (downtown atlanta)about robberies/ mugging (armed) with usually no police officers around to help. The response times are usually >20 minutes (usually because they are way understaffed). And on the other, I see militarized police brutality. I wish there is a way to funnel my tax dollars to those departments that are going to help people rather than hurt them.
- dublinben 12y ago>those departments that are going to help people rather than hurt them When you find a police department that fits this definition, please let us all know. I'm skeptical it's even a possibility.
- scarmig 12y agoThere are some countries where police typically don't even typically carry around projectile weapons. The UK, for instance. I think making sure police have some skin in the game, instead of pursuing the illusory chase of perfect security for them, is the answer. It's supposed to be public service, after all.
