When I was a kid it was the policeman’s job to make the citizen feel safe.
When did that turn around?
When it became more important “for the officer to go home to his family” than to not shoot kids with BB guns or people who don’t follow directions exactly.
The police have lost the benefit of the doubt in this society; too many kids, too many unarmed people and that damned ‘Tueller Drill’ that is responsible for the deaths of a lot of people. Fire anybody who practices it or even suggests it should be used for training.
