Too successful?

In conjunction with Trunk’s defense of police officers from charges of racism, posted below, here is George Will on the dramatic success of policing in the past decade. Will cites Heather Mac Donald who, along with Trunk, has been at the forefront of exploding the myth of pervasive racial profiling. He quotes Mac Donald’s warning that “if the police are now to be accused of racism every time they go where the crime is, that’s the end of public safety.” And, Will adds, the end of “the urban renaissance that owes much to more intelligent policing.”
