Here's a pretty old post from the blog archives of Geekery Today; it was written about 16 years ago, in 2008, on the World Wide Web.
Question: in a city racked by poverty and a long history of antagonism between cops and the local populace, how can you instill trust and inspire public confidence in your police department?
Answer: by firing police who attempt to communicate with the public. Let’s thank Flint police chief David Dicks for this useful tip.
Remember, nothing says transparency
like opacity, and nothing says public servants
like a tightly-organized, intensely secretive cabal of heavily-armed professional muscle, who absolutely refuse to discuss their business in the open.
