The case in question here is a specific case, and I have no doubt that the officers in question will be severely punished if found guilty of the wrong handling of this criminal. And that is as it should be. And yes, his record certainly shows that he was a criminal, and I am certain his victims were mostly black people.
The problem that I have here is the continual condemning of the police in this country in general,, which seems to have become a national pass time. Perhaps, at least some of the more vociferous of such complainers should be made to have to ride along with the police in their cars as they try to keep at least some order in some of the high crime areas of our cities!
While I am not known to be an ultra conservative (or perhaps even just an ordinary conservative) on this site, and I also believe know this to be a somewhat conservative position. But, I also believe it to be a reasonable and moderate civilized position at the same time!
Perhaps, some ideas that would help would be more cameras mounted upon not only the police cars, but even the police themselves. Another idea might be the hiring of more ethnic police to police these ethnic areas. This would hopefully result in not only more sympathetic community policing, but even help to reduce the high unemployment in such areas as well. Just ideas and recommendations, and perhaps there are other reasonable ideas as well.
But, just disrespecting the police (and by inference the law-and-order systems of our country) seems to be only resulting in more riots and crime upon even the better people of these communities, and that is very sad to me at least!!
