Community policing was brought about to get peoples minds off the idea of civilian review boards. CP is and was a childish way to placate certain members of different communities. Lip service, (with very little actual interaction) but for another name. What works is getting back to basics, such as utilizing a foot patrol. Your examples are extremely biased reports of incidents by people who have something to gain. Not every officer is going to do a good job. Some shouldn't have the job. Police departments are supposed to be a refection of the community, which means that every departments is going to have defective under achievers on the job as well as over-achieving hard working officers, and every possible type of person in between. So if you don't like what you see in uniform, one only has to look in the community mirror and you'll see the problem.
