I worked with some that were not great cops, and thankfully no longer in the business. All these deaths are tragic, but the victims are hardly innocent lambs in these examples. These officers were called to the scene(s) of these situations. For some to say, just let them walk home, or whatever? Really? Perhaps when you're the victim of a crime, I'd like to see the look on your face, when the officer decides to just let the suspect walk? Like BTK said, just watch what happens if this thinking continues...Sad.
Oh, and I only have one child in this world, and it's a girl(wonderful young lady and mother now). To liken a scantily clad women getting raped, to a person being detained/arrested for committing a crime, is not at all related?!

Very accurate. My son is eligible to retire from NYPD in September with 20 years. He was considering doing another 5. Now that consideration is pretty much in the toilet. Discriminating and over charging a person because he is 1 a cop and 2 white is probably going to result in good cops re-evaluating their unappreciated and disrespected vocation. Yes the result could become very sad. But it doesn’t matter. Political ambitions trump everything else.
