BRUTALITY OF POLICEMEN.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: I noticed in your columns this morning a
description of the selfish and brutal behavior OF
policeman in Prospect Park during storm. Is 1t
not time that something be done by the heads OF
the Police Department 10 teach the patrolmen
some regard for the rights Of the public? The in
considerateness to use harsher term, Of mem
bers of the uniformed force be seen daily.
Stalwart policemen will sit in the streetcars-on
which. by the way, they pay fares-while women
stand. I have seen four policemen, none OF whom
weighed less than $50 pounds, sit cOmplacently
while woman with child in her arms lurched
back and forth in front of them. In the parks
they seem 10 take great pleasure in driving women
from comfortable resting places They smoke and
spit in public places and cOnveyanCes, in violation
of rules they are supposed enforce-in short.
they seem 10 be utterly without regard for the
public they supposed to protect the laws
they are supposed to enforce. Can nothing he
done about il? INDIGNATION.
