On a two-block stretch of Brownsville in April, the police stepped aside and let residents respond to 911 calls. It was a bold experiment that some believe could redefine law enforcement in New York City.

    Can you post a non paywalled link next time? Thank you.

    Seems like an interesting idea anyway.

      You mean police who aren’t protected from consequences, actually trying to keep people safe; no origin story about chasing runaway slaves/ quenching labor movements?

    Kinda sounds like BIVO is just “Cops, but better” since they’ve actually de-escalated conflicts. Considering how abysmal police training is, sounds like no training is actually better.
