Police Brutality Everyone's Problem: Police Brutality and Race, by Tom Gregg This will discuss whether the police system in the New York City area is corrupt and/or racist. POLICE CORRUPTION I grew up in the Midwest, respecting the police as the "good guys"-- heroic fighters of badness, upholders of justice-- who ought to be obeyed. Now, living in the New York City area, I read and hear about a different type of cop. Here, cops, singly or in conspiracy, are repeatedly caught helping drug dealers in exchange for money or drugs. In Philadelphia recently 5 police officers were found to have kept a stash of drugs from which they withdrew drugs to plant evidence on people. A detective in one New Jersey police department claims that after a certain store was robbed, several police officers looted the store, justifying their actions with the thought that the storeowner's insurance would pay for the stolen goods; and cops who didn't participate in the looting were ostracized. In another New Jersey community it is claimed that the police are currently taking bribes from drug dealers. In Newark, NJ, an officer who came forward with allegations of an operating police extortion ring is being penalized for his police, order, brutality, social, new, state, people, law, jersey, cops, victims, should, man, least, item, goldberg, fear, even, blacks, been, after, without, rule, racism, force, years, very, student, officers, much, minorities, made, justice, honor, drugs, crimes
