Excerpt from Police Administration: A Critical Study of Police Organisations in the United States and Abroad The New York police are like balls upon a pool table; they are knocked and whacked against one another, followed and drawn, whirled and twisted, pocketed, jumped and spotted, rolled and racked and counted, first one way and then another, framed and 'busted' and broke at the will and caprice of those who are pleased to play the game for glory or gain, for place or power, for policy or for purity upon this the greatest civic stage the world has ever known.
