The Wrong Approach
Some people say the “High Five Days” program started by the
Northampton, Mass. Cops to teach kids that cops can be friends, and
are “normal people” in addition to their jobs to keep order
should be ended because it takes cops off the streets. But cops can
be well used to befriend kids, which can KEEP them from becoming
criminals. That stops crimes BEFORE they are committed. That's just
as important as catching criminals AFTER they've committed a crime.
It's “preventative policing.” But some people are too dumb to
realize that. Keeping cops in their patrol cars, on the street, is
good policing. But PREVENTING crime is good policing, too, and is
time well invested. Kids who are taught to distrust and dislike cops
are much more likely to BECOME criminals. And this program is
designed to prevent that. (Freedom's Phoenix)
