It's not as if there's never been examples of policemen breaking the law, is it? Since those ACLU meetings were described as "packed" I must imagine the residents of the crime-ridden neighborhood were nonetheless unhappy with the police patrols and searchs. My solution? That's just it....to tricky problems there never is any one easy, simple solution. It's never as easy as black-and-white, good-vs-evil (or dare I say, Democrat vs Republican). A combination of good police in cooindation with the citizens of Helena-West Helena is less dramatic than pointing M-16s at cars, but might be more effective.
