(65,616 posts)They seem to think that just like every other time in American history, people are going to forget about all the murders by cops caught on camera now. It simply won't go away and if cops think their job is hard now, imagine how hard it will be when dogs are running around with collar cams etc..
Face it, honest up and show integrity and punish those 'bad apples' or continue to face protests against police brutality. It ain't going away. It never did and never will. Being in a special profession like law enforcement does not change those rules.
What the CoP said, I thought incredibly insensitive and way out of bounds. You know...without all that PROOF and EVIDENCE first people keep flogging others over!
Wait for all the evidence...or not just make a public statement and enrage a huge part of the nation. Either way cops are not going to win this fight in the social arena. Not going to happen, start with the self-corrections or face endless protests and public shaming.
