There's an open townhall meeting tomorrow evening in the town where the officer involved in the Sturgeon, Mo. dog shooting is employed. It will be interesting to see what people say. If anyone is interested, I'll post an update after it concludes. I'm not going myself, but many people I know will be there, and I'll have excellent first hand information. FReegards!
That is pretty much the state of things. Power without accountability corrupts absolutely, and it doesn't help that many police are fairly unstable to begin with. Toss in steroids, and you end up with a really bad mix.
Eloquently?
Regards,
One might reasonably ask the question “who wants to become police officers?” Here’s a job where they give you a gun, a badge, the lawful authority to order people around, plus as an added bonus, sovereign immunity.
Could it be, is it even possible in principle, that some bad actors might to drawn to such a line of work?
Oh, but that’s ok, because police departments have a record of instantly letting bad actors go or even criminally charging them when officers are abusive. Oh wait, they don’t? Well, still, other good officers routinely speak up when they see misbehavior on the part of others. Wait, they don’t? And there’s a strong “Blue Wall of Silence”?
Hmmmm
You have a lot of us curious what this waxing thing is about, can you fill us in?
Any updates?
