      American-style policing is shredding the social fabric more than it is protecting it, Exhibit 74746739-J https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/27/opinion/sunday/motherhood-in-the-age-of-fear.html … #overpolicing

      I don't think police go looking for these cases -- there's a volunteer army of officious monsters with cell phones who generate much of this. We have had a neighbor yell at us for letting our 8 year olds play in the front yard.

      Whoa in the _front _yard_? V true, it’s the diffusion and internalization of a punitive mentality that is at least as big a problem as law enforcement itself. But police should exercise their discretion, of which they have plenty, better

          I suppose we should be glad she didn't call the police on us (and didn't know we also let them walk to school on their own...another scandal).

          They walk to school alone in PALO ALTO!?

          Yes, it's a risk in a changing community: recently some physicians have moved in who work in primary care rather than a specialty, also lawyers who haven't made senior partner -- it's a minefield, but we want our children to learn survival skills.

          When they get a photo and a text saying "This abandoned child is dying of heat in a car" or somesuch, they pretty much have to respond (think of the outcry if they didn't). The trend of shaming people who try to use police to enforce their petty judgments is salubrious.

          The shame-the-shamers is salubrious! But what about police showing up to the scene and instead of pressing charges just talking with the parent, informing them that a concerned neighbor called? I expect this happens all the time already; it should happen more.

          Agreed. I would also like them to talk to the person who called and tell them to take 911 off of their speed dial.
