Granderson: Bass is right to add cops in L.A., but quality matters more than quantity (via latimesopinion )
Around 90% of Americans support universal background checks for gun purchases. So why won’t GOP lawmakers let it happen?Of course the city needs more police officers. That was one of the issues Bass campaigned on. What she has to avoid is creating an administrative culture in which the premium is placed on quantity of policing rather than quality, in an attempt to fulfill that campaign promise.
The challenge for Bass and other mayors facing increased crime with decreased police forces is not just finding the right number of officers to serve a community but finding the right people to become officers so the department doesn’t terrorize a community. Our streets do not need anymore people who corroborate falsified police reports in an effort to fit in.After kidnappings of Americans, Mexico faulted the U.S. for ignoring the “serious problem of social decay.” But U.S.
As Bass sets out to add about 400 officers, the odds are, there will be mistakes made during the recruiting process and questionable characters will be sworn in. It’s going to happen because humans are involved. The missteps will become apparent with future wrongdoing by the LAPD. How Bass handles those moments is where her political ideology regarding criminal justice will truly be revealed..
