Are there bad cops? Yes of course there are but there are bad Doctors. Bad lawyers, bad Judges and on and on.
You are amazingly short sighted in your view of the police.
You and I both know if you are faced with extreme danger you will dial 911 for the police to save you.
You claim the police are “alienating the public.” Tell us in what way and please cite examples in numbers which would constitute a trend.
Police are alienating the public by excessive police brutality, there is a reason why there is a distrust between the cops and the minority community, even white teens and the cops don’t get along.
Not all cops are bad, but cops need way more better training and oversight.
As for this, deBlasio is a disgrace of a mayor and he is completely crazy.
