Subject: RE: Drugs and the North II
Hiya kids:
I will tell you a funny story about policeing and the north. I was at a meeting with some New York politicians and police officials who were asking our opinon about sending NY cops to the north to help the RUC learn about progressive non-discriminitory policing. I looked over at another lawyer who I knew there, and she had the same look of shock I likely had. She gestured to me to answer the proposal. I said that I was not completely happy with the NYPD record on policing though it was milder than the RUC - for the most part. I reminded the folks about the Africanised , South American "killer bees", where milder South American bees were bred with higher yeald more agresive bees from Africa. The result was an even more agressive bee. I would hate to see "Northernized" cops return from the trip to Ireland.
ALl the best, I will have to check out the above clikies when I have a moment.
