    A good article in the WaPo, by Mikki Kendall of Chicago, on the

    culture of police violence - not news, but well said, and with many

    references to specific cases.

      <p> "The problem isn’t just the officers that directly commit

        crimes. It’s also the officers that help them get away with it

        and the climate that encourages successive generations of

        officers to prioritize themselves over the public they are sworn

        to protect."</p>
