Trade-Offs and Downsides

■Police departments already face difficulties in recruiting for a very tough job. If we single out police officers too quickly for what is acknowledged to be a problem of bias across society, we risk turning away more recruits.

■This may make it more difficult for officers to make split-second life and death decisions.

■Taking investigative tools, such as “stop and frisk,” away from police officers will mean that we reduce the ability of police to stop serious crimes before they start.

■Reducing penalties for drug or other offenses could lead to an increase in crime.
