Stephan:   The disconnect between law enforcement agencies and the population of people they are supposed to protect and serve, has become a major social disruptor and it is going to get worse because, as this report makes clear we are not dealing with these issues properly. We have the largest gulag in the world, and a little town in Oregon has a police force that has killed more citizens in a few weeks than the police in the entire country of German kill in several years. This is part of the growing sense that our civil structure is the biggest problem the country faces, as is reflected in the recent Gallup Poll I published in SR. This is not a good place for a democracy. But Obama can't even get a new Attorney General confirmed, racism is as pronounced as it has been since the 60s. So the probability of anything significant being done to address this issue seems to me very small. Which means it will only get worse. What I am looking for is whether it motivates the Black and Hispanic communities to register and vote. That this subject and its implications gets so little coverage in corporate media in any coherent way is itself, I think, revealing.
