Kwiatkowski POLICE BRUTALITY The police have way too much power ("Cities can stop riots before they start," April 17 by Clarence Page). It's a shame it had to take a riot for media to report police brutality and abuses of power. Fifteen people had to give up their lives before media did anything. The war on drugs must come to an end. It is destroying America, and this is the reason police have all that unchecked power. Absolute arbitrary power always destroys absolutely. W. Kwiatkowski, Plymouth - --- MAP posted-by: Doc-Hawk
