CIVIL WRONGS

Submitted by ub on

Rookie wrongs lead to civil wrongs. The decission of placing the least experienced police officers into the most dangerous neighborhoods should be reconsidered.

Unfortunately, it is a time-honored practice that has tragic consequences, both for the young cops and for the people they are sworn to protect and for the inexperienced young cops.

Veterans with seniority rights move to the relative safe neighborhoods while their newer counterparts face the brunt of battle. It has happened once again in Oklahoma and then in N. Carolina.
