What's "The Club"?

After hearing our three guest speakers: Dwight Pettit, Neil Franklin, and Michael Wood; I gained a new insight on the portrayal of police and their enforcement of law. However, the most influential idea was "the club"; either you were a part of the police club, a cop or other law enforcement, or you were not. This idea really hit home, especially when Mr. Wood spoke of his plan to destroy this systemic organization. "Going to the streets" was his plan of action, he wasn't focused on the mindset of individuals; his target was their behavior, which would in turn stop the problem.

However, I disagree with Mr. Wood's theory. I believe in the saying "Catch a man a fish, and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he will eat forever." That saying to me not only speaks volumes to the importance of knowledge, but to being able to change an individuals mindset. This second change in mindset I believe is a lesson from that expression, because a man has to change how he thinks in order to take the time to learn to fish, and eventually to reach some form of expertise in this skill. So, changing a mindset will change behavior, changing behavior doesn't change a mindset; so without a different mindset the real belief of people hasn't changed. People will still be stuck in the same thought process, living their life as a lie. 

Two questions I want most answered in class:
What does the city of Baltimore do to improve the social environment for each social/racial class?
If people think they see a solution to this social issue, then who is the group/individual making such solution known to the masses?
