What evidence is there of widespread police misconduct?
I think we all accept that blacks are more often the victims of police brutality -- but that's not evidence of widespread misconduct. Its evidence of inequal distribution of crime -- the real problem we also need to solve.
What I'd like to see is statistical trends that show that police brutality or misconduct is an increasing problem. I think it is a decreasing problem.
In NYC and in Detroit, I believe it is generally safer for blacks than in the past.
