Manslaughter, rape, assault. A recent spate of allegations against police officers on the outskirts of New York City has raised fears that a big-city problem has invaded the suburbs.I thought a "spate" was three--but then they go on to call it a "cluster," although, thank goodness, at least it's not a "trend."
My favorite line:
Lieberman wondered if training was at fault.
I don't know how I've managed to get by all these years--I'm certain I've never had specific formal classes to teach me that rape, manslaughter and brutality are wrong, but I've somehow never felt inclined to go that route...
Guess I just don't have what it takes to be an "Only One."
Oh, and get ready, "suburbs." You asked for it and now you're going to get it.
And how.
