drug policing.there is pressure on the police department to produce the kinds of statistics that will make the department competitive for these funds and they pass that pressure on to their individual officers. eventually the entire narcotics squad was either fired or transferred to another department. there were promises for reforms that really didn't end up panning out in the end and they had to create a civilian review board but it was later sort of rendered by losses from the police union. in the end is this 92-year-old woman was killed and very little changed in terms of actual policyges. the story sort of embodies a lot of what i talk about in the book. the misplaced incentives and the perverse incentives and the use of these forced entry tactics. this wasn't a swat team necessarily. it was a narcotics task force but a forced entry at night. the incentives to take shortcuts around the fourth amendment. certainly not applying search warrants but implying these incentives create an inducement fo
