Police unions are in the background of police aggression and the continued ability of incompetent officers to patrol the streets.
The New York Times is better than this. This isn't the best journalism and they know it. No different than homelessness under Reagan and bringing justice to the incarcerated including the lack luster of the USA death penalty. The injustice of the USA legal systems begins at the street. Police officers are not suppose to be held to a standard that creates immunity to wrongful deaths.
Not all unions cause death among citizens.

...In all of the cases (click here) listed here, officers were placed on administrative leave or reassigned soon after the episodes. That is a routine step before an internal investigation and is not a form of discipline, said Christopher Dunn, the associate legal director at the New York Civil Liberties Union....
This article appeared in The New York Times last October. The New York Times is on the trail of finding the common denominator because it is the moral thing to do.

...As an economist (click here) who has studied racial discrimination, I’ve begun to look at these deaths from a different angle. There is ample statistical evidence of large and persistent racial bias in other areas — from labor markets to online retail markets. So I expected that police prejudice would be a major factor in accounting for the killings of African-Americans. But when I looked at the numbers, that’s not exactly what I found.
I’m not saying that the police in these specific cases are free of racial bias. I can’t answer that question. But what the data does suggest is that eliminating the biases of all police officers would do little to materially reduce the total number of African-American killings. Police bias may well be a significant problem, but in accounting for why some of these encounters turn into killings, it is swamped by other, bigger problems that plague our society, our economy and our criminal justice system....
The methodologies in all these deaths required police aggression. The officer was on the OFFENSE from the beginning of the interaction. We have all seen the videos of cops that stopped a pick up truck or high performance cars and are caught by surprise by the driver's agenda against them. That is tragic and it happens, but, the danger to police and citizen has crossed the line and causing repeated deaths.
The methodology in stopping cars due to minor auto violations has to be reworked. The police current methodology has too much exposure to death for police and citizen, it has to be called what it is, "Bad police work."
At this point there is no accurate criticism of this police methodology so the entire behavior has to end At some point in the future the reason for citizen deaths will be known beyond a reasonable doubt and the methodology of stopping cars in traffic will return, but, it simply needs to stop now to prevent the deaths of innocent lives.
I DO NOT BUY INTO THE IDEA SOME DEATHS WILL HAPPEN TO MAINTAIN A SAFE COUNTRY. THAT IDEOLOGY IS HIDEOUS IN THE FACE OF A DEMOCRACY.
THE PERMISSION OF COPS TO KILL AT WILL BECAUSE IT CREATES A SAFE COUNTRY IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS. I SUPPOSE IF COPS CONTINUE TO KILL ANY AND ALL PEOPLE AT WILL THERE WILL BE A MORE LAWFUL COUNTRY FOR THE SAME REASON THERE ARE IMPROVEMENTS IN BAGHDAD; DEAD PEOPLE DON'T CAUSE PROBLEMS.
DON'T FORGET, THE COPS ARE NOW CARRYING BOMBS IN THEIR METHODS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT. ISRAEL, AT LEAST, USE BULLDOZERS.
THE DEATH PENALTY IN THE USA IS CONDUCTED AT A PRISON. IT SHOULD NEVER BE TOLERATED ON THE AMERICAN STREETS.
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE POLICE METHODOLOGY THAT PROTECTS THE INNOCENT NO MATTER WHAT!
THIS IS BAD POLICE WORK. END OF DISCUSSION.
