        Little is going to change until superfluous police departments in these areas are either consolidated or simply eliminated.

        How do you reduce the likelihood that a motorist will face a deadly police encounter? Reduce the number of officers on vehicular patrol.

        But departments are run as semi-autonomous, patronage-disbursing fiefdoms and Chiefs wield political power. So this can't happen organically

        One of Christie's priorities in NJ when he assumed office was municipal consolidation; almost totally failed, due to resistance from police

        As crime had fallen nationwide, there's been no commensurate reduction in the number of officers on duty. Makes these situations inevitable.

        With almost 0 violent crime. I covered more violent crime in a week at times than the department has investigated in three years.

        Indeed -- thus the extreme departmental over-reliance on traffic stops

        is it legal to publish Castile's record in the name of publc information? The amount of violations he was charged w is astounding.

        . . . as do many other small towns across the country - too many to call it 'racist'. Call it 'taxist'.
