Police choose their profession. It seems to me that they are accepting some degree of risk. Things that shouldn't happen sometimes do, and that is especially true of situations that are inherently risky. To take it on voluntarily is one thing. For the possibility of danger to be determined by unavoidable, involuntary skin color is entirely different.

Fri Jul 8, 2016, 04:54 PM
Jul 2016

Black Lives Matter is hardly a perfect movement, but in no way is there a connection between their principles of justice and the assassinations in Dallas. America doesn't consider the lives of black people to be as valuable as those of white people. And this is a huge source of violence and injustice in this country.

Giuliani is a part of the problem here.

Giuliani Ignored NYPD’s Detailed Objections To Placing Emergency Command Center In WTC

Wiliam K. Rashbaum
New York Times

The New York Police Department produced a detailed analysis in 1998 opposing plans by the city to locate its emergency command center at the World Trade Center, but the Giuliani administration overrode those objections. The command center later collapsed from damage in the Sept. 11 terrorist attack.

“Seven World Trade Center is a poor choice for the site of a crucial command center for the top leadership of the City of New York,” a panel of police experts, which was aided by the Secret Service, concluded in a confidential Police Department memorandum.
