 force being use in inappropriate ways . Same point as when people got
 fed up w Crime . Race & Police/Community relationship .
|19:57| Norman Siegel : police misconduct w racial overtones old .
 w continue as long a G & S deny problem .
 Myth 1 : Isolated incident ( yea lots of ) .
          `94 -99 30,000 complaints filed .
      2 : Not race issue ( yea right ) . blacks (  .25 of pop ) file .51 of
          complaints . Is a minority of Bigots infecting whole core .
   When met bratton -  still |  26 % 449 |>| 0.06 | people of color in pop
    where are .6 of tot .
    5000 complaint  | 250 substantiate | 100 any santion | 50 more than slap
    Crucial that Feds intervene . Analytically same as civil rights in `60s .
    Residency . eliminate 48 hr rule . Policy changes , training . ( sych
    testing ) .
|20:12| MM : did invite City & PBA to participate : Zachary Carter , US Attny
 for NY Eastern Dist : Fitzgerald - ability to hold to conflicting views .
 Respectful , effective , agressive - more
 subculture that believe in use of punitive force - abusive corporal
 punishment . Children spank if parents did . Police release own anger .
 If have talked to & know someone that looks like Amadou Diallo , less likely
 to blow him away .
Bratton quoting : ' Liberty unrestrained is an invitation to anarchy . '
 behave in ways that is offensive to the rest of society . Police can be used
 to such extent that than can control behavior . Broken window theory ( which
 is true ) Civil liberties and civil . Police grew from 31K to 41k  , being
 forced to interfere w behavior even of better behaving populice . enforcing
 things they themselves feel are intrusive . Increase special units - on
 roadblocks . |20:39| Norm Siegel : limitations on freedom must be reasonable
 just and fair . Since `94 not met that std .  Increasingly authoritarian -
 stop & frisks . `97- `98  15 mo : 175,000 stops | maybe .5 unreported
 .5 of stops black .3 latino | .9 did not lead to sucessful proscecution .
 ergo no legal basis for stop . not just by a few bad apples .  police
 Police hasseling people carrying .
 tmro - go thru metal dect   312  arrests yesterday closed vans . 15 in
 1 van . left in systm3 > 24 hrs . for smoking joint Saturday - some just

 propose hiring not come from CivilService lists but Police cadets who are
 representative of community . Giul did not support . Can be done w no
 laws .
|20:57| for Carter : effectively prosecute bad officers ? established
 separate bureau to reduce conflicts of interest .
|20:59| MM : change any of comission recomendations ? independent monitor
 would stress increase age to : 22 ; 2 yrs col or equ eg army ; training -
 sensitivity , recurring ; supervision 1 supervisor for 10 officers vs 30 now
 Opporation Condor - plain cloths officers stop & first ? BB 24M$ overtime
 Drug Dealing task force .  8K open air crack heroin halucinogens mkts gone

 We did not authorize authoritarian regime . Unconstutional stop & frisks
 break down doors . Serious Crime - need effective |  Insanity of drug law .
 Police not soln every social economic medical problem .
|21:31| Alcohol abuse in NYPD & family abuse ? Well documented .
 Drugs or Drug prohibition for Adults ? BB : Drugs ARE a problem .
 Rockefeller laws inappropriate in this day & age - still as sociatl , can`t
 arrest way out of problem , but helps .
Dr Bob Kaufmann , Society Interim Senior Leader : Would George W Bush & Al
 Gore be better off today if they had been sent to prison for drug use years
