Tupac Shakur once said the police are "the biggest gang in New York City." He was right. They are actually the biggest gang in the country. 

That might not be a bad thing (as Tupac also pointed out). There are ways to make sure that "gang" has society's best interests in mind, and that individual actions conform to that goal. Until we update the system which currently exists, we will see the same results as always. Locking up individuals might feel good in our revenge-fueled culture, but it doesn't fix anything.
