(406 posts)Law enforcement is not federal but state and regional. As we have seen with the voting rights problem, one size obviously does not fit all. I have read a lot of professional papers about these problems and it is mind boggling. We need for the whole country to find a moral center again but that seems rather unlikely with so many crazies out there. Therefore, all we can do is what everyone in this thread suggests, keep patching up the wounds, stopping the bleeding, and making small improvements in individual instances until other communities see that both cops and victims are members of a community and community policing usually works. It is a damn shame so many women, children, and other minorities must suffer and die simply because of a machismo theory of community control.
