LTTE: Law enforcement success overshadowed by broader issues

To the editor

December 10, 2024 by To the editor

To the editor:

Breaking news coverage of the United Health Care murder manhunt was a moment for law enforcement, and they took full advantage of it.

Police and political officials in New York City brayed about how flawless and patriotic their approach to apprehending this criminal was.

What was not mentioned was the 75-year-long slide of crime prevention and crime deterrence in this country, based on a desire to just let people work their will on polite society whenever they want. This includes a hands-off approach to things like misdemeanors, drugs, and smash and grab theft, and big bucks predatory subprime mortgage crime, freak-off sex party trafficking, and felonies committed by public officials while in office.

Law enforcement is a tool of people’s government, but the people haven’t shown up to participate in government for a long time in America. We just let our own wild child offspring and the rich and famous do whatever they want without consequence. We then fall for all their self-promoting propaganda when a single high-profile criminal is apprehended. That needs to change.

Sincerely

Kimball Shinkoskey
