Anatomy of a defeat
A recent California State Supreme Court ruling will force law enforcement agencies in that state to release the names of officers involved in on-duty shooting incidents. The Long Beach Police Officers Association filed a lawsuit against the city over the matter and the California Supreme Court ruled in favor of the city. The Los Angeles Times says the state court “called the police association’s bluff.” As anyone familiar with the concept of strategy will tell you, figuring out what went wrong after a defeat is every bit as important as knowing what went right after a win.
