To this day when I am involved with new young police officers I remind them of my first rule of interaction with the public, “everyone lies.” The bad people lie, the political thugs lie, even the good people lie when scared or hurt and afraid of more violence and pain.

They also lie when they no longer can trust the police to enforce the law. That line of officers watching people being beaten in San Jose and doing nothing was a political watershed that nobody in the media has shown any sign of noticing yet. That one will resonate far past November.

Resets the rules of engagement, doesn't it? Among other things.
