We're the Only Ones Unpunished Enough

She also discussed her approach to discipline in the police department, which she believes has become far too "punitive" among "paramilitary organizations." She opts for additional training for officers, in place of disciplinary actions. [More]
So basically she thinks of herself as the commander of a standing occupational force...?

Is she wrong?

Hey, look at one of her peacekeepers is being charged with!

Seems to me indicting the poor guy for carrying on the time-honored tradition of occupying forces going back thousands of years is a bit...you know, punitive...

Noted her remark that 'littering' enforcement will now go full swing, can we expect a short, swift continuum of force polcy in regard to paramilitary encounters with alleged litterers? In other words how soon will the first citizen dropping a gum wrapper be tasered and then shot?

Hey, they have to make sure we have a litter-free environment.

"Seay is the 18th D.C. officer charged with a crime this year..."

That's probably more than some states.
