On our own shores, the Washington, D.C. police seem to be emulating the Brits. In a WaPo article, In D.C., a Crime Goes Unchecked, Drew Pulley relates how he witnessed a savage beating and tried to get the police to make an arrest. Pulley even followed the perpetrator and pointed him out to police but they refused to act.
I have been the target of unsubstantiated claims by citizens and so I must take this story with a grain of salt. But in the mid 1990's the DC police hired a black woman as a police officer; she then shot her boy friend. This woman was later discovered to be legally retarded (IQ under 75). How in the world did she pass the civil service entrance exam and the "stringent" qualifications of the police academy?
If the story Mr. Pulley relates is true anywhere in this country, it is true in DC.
