In a staggering report last month, the Department of Justice documented pervasive abuse, illegal use of force, racial bias and systemic dysfunction in the Minneapolis Police Department. City police officers engaged in brutality or made racist comments, even as a department investigator rode along in a patrol car. Complaints about police abuse were often slow-walked or dismissed without investigation.
That’s not a conclusion supported by the facts here. What is supported by the facts is destroying the conventional wisdom that more cops means less crime.
Yes, and there is a difference between actual crime and observed/reported for statistics crime.
