Ted Rutland on police déjà vu

Ted Rutland has a sharp piece Monday on déjà vu among police methods with an examination of a public forum about youth violence in 1994, in which the same issues were examined and the same solutions proposed as in the one held last month.

Rutland’s coda, translated: “It’s time for our elected officials to justify their preference for investments in policing and punishing marginalized youth rather than provide them with the resources they need.”
