There are two sides to every story...I think police get out of line occassionally just like people in every walk of life...but when you see a cop pull someone over and the walk up with their hand on their gun it is because many who have gone before them walked up on a loaded gun and then ate some lead...I couldn't do their job but I am glad that someone does it...because we need safety to have freedom. Safety is one of the basic rights guaranteed to us.

Chief Bill Braton is one of the most successful law enforcement executives to have lived. At a recent breakfast he provided his three pronged approach to reshaping any police department. First he partners with the community, second he problem solves, and third he focuses on prevention.

I think this is a great approach for any social problem.
