Slowdown's Dirty Little Secret
Jacob Siegel, The Daily Beast
Siegel writes: "The police slowdown in New York, where cops have virtually stopped making certain types of low-level arrests, might be coming to an end soon. For a lot of police officers, it'll be an unhappy moment, because they never liked making the penny ante collars in the first place."
